Dashiki or no?

*I'm not sure if this is in the right category so don't shoot me!🙅🏾*
So earlier in the year a girl in my class was wearing a Dashiki and I thought it  was cute. I told her that I liked it and that I always wanted one. She then asks me if I'm African and I say no because I'm not African, I'm African American. She then tells me I can't wear one because I'm not African and it'd be Culture Appropriation. Is this true? I didn't want to disrespect the her Culture or anything since I'm not African. I did a little research on it but I didn't see any religious ties to it.
