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.
