I think there's a difference between gradual cultural blending due to regional/cultural/language proximity, such as what you're describing, and say me, getting a religiously significant Hindu tattoo just because I think it looks cool when I know very little about Hinduism, am not personally invested in Hinduism, and have no intention of converting to Hinduism.

There are lines, they're just blurry.
