I don't see it as adversarial when X is Y's answer to Z, but just showing that different cultures solve problems in different ways. The best thing to do is look at the alternatives and see if they work for you. I love cooking and have borrowed lots of ideas from Asian and Latino cultures in what I make. I'd hate think someone would accuse me, a white American in the suburbs, of cultural appropriation or being adversarial... I'm just borrowing ideas I like. There is nothing new under the sun... all creative people just take existing things and modify them or combine them in new ways.
