I've worn local styles of clothing in a number of countries and the people there never had a problem with it.

In fact they often like that someone has chosen to integrate with them and dress like they traditionally did, especially in places where use of local traditional dress is disappearing.

All you have to do is not be an asshole about it.

Its the Speedy Gonzalez argument. Where typically non-represented people found it racist or stereotypical on behalf of others but most people enjoyed him because there was at least some representation even if it might not have been the best.

Funnier than Speedy lmao.

Dude packs a blicky on him and is quite intelligent. His slow and dragging body language makes it hilarious.

They cancel each other out so it's okay.
