I don't think there is a universal answer, but I don't think you have anything to worry about.
That may sound silly to some, MMM, but that is a great analogy!

Being from Texas, I do sometimes encounter the foreigner who is an over-the-top fan of rodeo or at least who thinks all Texans should wear cowboys hats and ride horses.

While I enjoy rodeos, have more than one cowboy hat, and learn to ride horses as a child, none of this is a major part of my life. I know one Japanese guy that looks really good in his tight jeans, western shirt, and Stetson, but he could get some strange looks wearing that style just to hang around the mall.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
