[QUOTE="FireDragon76, post: 74517413, member: 330042"] How about people that use Buddhist imagery as casual decoration? I once saw a Buddha head on top of a toilet in a bathroom. You go to a discount store in the US and you'll often see that kind of thing sold as bric a brac. Orientalism and appropriation like this has a long history in the western world, it's not that surprising that people in the east would do the same in kind. It's tacky and offensive but when people gotta make a buck, cultural sensitivity is often the last thing on their minds. [/QUOTE]
