Yes, but mainly within the USA.

Cultural appropriation was a major issue with black Americans for generations, with black artists getting paid pennies on the dollar for their work. You also have Native American culture being wildly misrepresented for white people's entertainment. Since this is a part of American history, there is a sensitivity that the people who produced the culture should partake in its use and profit.

The rest of the world doesn't care as much, since that history isn't there. If anything, other countries might see it as a mark of prestige that another country is taking such an interest in their culture.
