Yes, exactly, I think the line differs from person to person. And I have no problem with the party - I just wanted to loop in the discussion I had on my other board to try to give some perspective to the situation, as to why someone would feel that way.
The Geisha argument is a staple of the anti-cultural-appropriation movement, I think. The first argument I witnessed was started over a pair of Ed Hardy boots with Geisha on them. Several people were strongly, adamantly opposed to them. I just thought they were pretty. We were much at odds - demonstrating exactly that the line is different for everyone.
