And that's perfectly fine that your Japanese friend felt that way. My "Indian friend" didn't give two ****s about Beyoncé's "appropriative actions" in the latest Coldplay video. There's nothing wrong with appreciating and celebrating other cultures.

Yeah, I guess you did.
If it's TASTEFULLY done, it can go without offending people; Beyonce, for example.
Unfortunately, Katy Perry mashed up like 5 Asian cultures in her performance,
leading to a cheapened, ignorant and ugly mistake for the sake of dress-up;
and many people in the black community were also offended by her black appropriations.
