There's a difference between engrossing yourself in another culture and being actively hostile to another person or culture.

The kind of people I'm talking about are those that get offended on behalf of a culture they're not a part of, for someone simply participating in that cultures traditions.

They're not out there actively mocking, attacking, or otherwise demeaning that culture, it's traditions, or it's people.

The difference is malicious intent.

Bullies have malicious intent in spades.

People wearing the garb of a culture they were not born into, do not.
