I'm not sure I agree with you; I don't think the kitschiness is the whole problem here. I mean, making tacky theme parks is aesthetically offensive. But killing a large number of people and destroying their real culture, and then making tacky theme parks about that culture while ignoring or obstructing an impoverished group of survivors who are actually trying to rebuild their culture, that's morally offensive as well. I think that's what people really mean by cultural appropriation, not that white people are never allowed to make any art that contains elements from a minority culture.
