I’ve read on this site that white performers (past and present) have a long history of appropriating music of African Americans; Elvis, Rolling Stones, M$M etc…. So if an African American plays classica piano and becomes famous, is that too not cultural appropriation?

I speak Spanish but I’m a white american. I travel to Guatemala a lot for work. Sometimes I wear handmade colorful mayan belts. Would this be considered cultural appropriation?
