If anything, I was honoring Japanese culture...I so appreciate the beauty and skill of Geisha (they are NOT prostitutes, a common myth) that I wanted to emulate them for an evening. Was that wrong?

As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more...than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase.
