Zeppelin used Middle Eastern chords, Paul Simon robbed more from Africa than Zales.
Its perfectly fine to borrow if a form is established, but I don't know if it diminishes the origin story behind it.
Country music borrows strongly from celtic music, but what was Irish certainly still is. It more a testiment to the art form than the given culture around it.
Oh and hey thanks for the compliment. I do what I can.
