Question for those who are or have been strongly interested in other countries/cultures

Has anyone else been really interested in a country​​/culture that's not one of the main ones people seem to obsess over (South Korea, Japan, Britain, France​​​​​) and you're a different continentality, never been there, and have no connection to that country have people (that aren't that ethnicity) claim it's offensive​​​​​/problematic/racist for people of a different race that's never been to ​there and have no connections to to really love that country/culture in that way​​ because while I usually would just have people think it's unusual I was once playing a roblox and girl who told me she was Japanese said that kind of stuff about me loving and talking about China and Taiwan after she asked if I was Chinese or Japanese and I said "no and I'm not Taiwanese either" (she knew I never been to those places because I was talking to my friend about how I wanted to go) 😭​​​​

Has anyone else made this?

I bought 17 shadow dragon ducks and I decided to paint the 17th one to look like a frost dragon! ​​​I was wondering if anyone else has done so​

A confession...

I decided to tag some people from my past post I did where I was ranking ships if they were allowed in or not:

u/Ecletic_Historian28 u/Dapper_Bridge1603 u/ObjectiveRecent4984 u/ImACHshipperALT u/Zeezu-nightbird u/AzkaBright u/xmaplez u/Weary-Armadillo-7827

Now, here's the confession (as copied from a YouTube post I made a while ago) ​

So when I got into Countryhumans I made most my Countryhumans more like the humanizations of positive things (like the personalities were based on positive aspects) other than two certain countries I didn't really think about enemies, I just shipped countryhumans based on like similarities... I kinda ended up shipping some countryhumans that were enemies and MY COUSIN EVEN WANTED TO MAKE A GACHA COUNTRYHUMANS SERIES ABOUT THE ONE COUNTRYHUMAN AND ANOTHER ENEMY OF THAT COUNTRYHUMAN (yes, those were the two countries that's relationship as enemies in real life was incorporated into my lore at this point)FIGHTING OVER THE OTHER COUNTRYHUMAN IN THE SHIP

I actually posted several gacha videos with this ship on an old channel of mine that I haven't posted in on in a few years but nobody said anything negative until I started playing roblox role play games and role played as the one countryhuman and had in the bio that she had a crush on the other countryhuman and everyone's like "THEYRE ENEMIES" sometime (I believe after the game got deleted) I started playing another Countryhumans game and I role played as that Countryhuman still but this time did NOT have the crush thing in the bio, I just roleplayed normally with people and having the countryhuman do things like sit at a computer and search up the other countryhuman online to shock people to get people's reactions (it was like a social experiment or something) and a lot of people I roleplayed with that would normally hate enemies being shipped ended up actually getting really involved in the roleplays..​

Countryhumans ship guessing challenge/discussion

Hello everyone,​ I thought it would be interesting if people would like to try and guess my countryhumans ships, if the ship you comment doesn't involve any countries that are in any of my ships but they're both close to countryhumans I ship together I will say "warm", if neither are in any ships and they're not close to any countryhumans I ship together I will say "cold", if I ship one of the countryhumans with someone else I will say which one and warm or cold depending on if the other country is close to the actual countryhuman I ship them with or not, if I ship both the countryhumans with others and the countries are close to the countries I actually ship them with I will say warm, if not I will say cold, if you correctly guess two countries I ship together, I will say so.

Here's an example:

"Italy and Spain?" "I don't really have a ship for either of them with anyone, cold"
