The key part here is the note about disrespect. If you are using aspects of a culture but doing so with honest intentions then most people from that culture would be delighted to see you participate in their traditions

Yeah absolutely, most people get a kick out of seeing someone else embrace a part of their culture. The key, as you say, is having a go of it without disrespecting the culture.

The people who get offended over it tend to be white saviour types, which is in the picture, as it should be.

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
