For context, this situation happened last month but I am still receiving negative comments from some friends about it so I thought I'd post here for some clarity. I (19f) was put in foster care after my family died when I was 2. When I was 3 I was taken in and subsequently adopted by my parents who are second generation Chinese Americans. They raised me my whole life and I grew up speaking Mandarin at home, celebrating both American and Chinese holidays, and talking with Chinese relatives. Now that I am 19, I moved out to college and this is where the story takes place
For an easy language credit, I decided to enroll in Mandarin and have made some friends in the class. When the mid-autumn festival came around I made some moon cakes the way my Mom taught me and thought it would be nice to share with my friends. The first person I saw was Tiffany (name changed) and when I offered her some, she got mad at me saying she didn't want any. I asked her why and she said " You are appropriating my culture. What right do you have to be a part of this holiday let alone continue to act like you're Chinese by celebrating the other holidays?" I was taken aback since I hadn't known her that long and didn't think I was appropriating her culture. I told her that I didn't think nor mean too if I was, but I was raised this way and would try to be better. After that she told our whole friend group and some have called me an asshole, others have said it was fine since they knew my back story, while others have decided to stay out of it. I thought it really wasn't a big deal and have since tried to be better but I still keep getting negative comments from Tiffany in class and some of the friend group.
So reddit AITA for celebrating this holiday and attempting to share moon cakes with my friend?

In case you are new here, the Chinese have a lot of holidays. This is just a drop in the bucket for what is about to come.
Typically people will take 1-3 days off for this holiday. Depends on the seller/business.

In celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival, we have been given 4 gift codes, with one revealed every day. Today's is code #3.
The code is......... IRIS
The code is good for 300 DNA and 1 Lucky Wheel ticket (the lucky wheel will appear tomorrow, check the event calendar for the exact time.) It will expire at the end of the day on September 28 (UTC+0). To redeem it, tap your avatar on the top left corner and tap the "Gift Code" option.
Once again, today's code is "IRIS". In case you missed the previous two codes, they are "DANGERAHEAD" and "FROMNIKKI4U".

Enjoy your mooncakes, and have a great week!
