How is it not more acceptable? Are drag acts inherently misogynist?

As an aside, 'blacking up' hasn't always had racist connotations - at least not in the States:

Where I grew up, the Bonfire societies often have blackened faces. I always assumed it was something to do with fire and soot but I'm not really sure.

not entirely sure what it is you're getting at but i'm really not going to, nor should anyone have to explain why blacking up is considered racist.
