If someone came here to Britain dressed as a knight or king randomly walking around the street... I'd be a little worried.

If you're American, wouldn't you feel a little strange if a bunch of foreigners started coming over dressed as cowboys wrangling cattle? Walking the streets as Matadors if you're Spanish?
Again... context, context, context.
