To add to this: the idea that you can't discuss a culture in any way unless you directly belong to that particular culture is outright absurd. It's like saying that the only people who are allowed to do social anthropology focused on ancient Romans are ancient Romans. What an incredibly anti-intellectual position to take.

People are absolutely allowed to discuss cultures they directly don't belong to. Doing so is not inherently disrespectful.
