Well, I personally do not view my ethnic heritage as an important factor when defining who I am. I did not choose it, I did nothing to accomplish it. But I do participate in certain traditions and ceremonies. Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is tomorrow and Wednesday, and I will take part in it. Traditions are handed down. You can discard them, or integrate them into your life.

No, it does. But many breaches of etiquette are considered unfriendly.
That will never hold up in court...
