Is it wrong in any way for a white girl or guy I suppose to get cornrows?

I personally like the style and don't see what is wrong with someone from any background wearing whatever hairstyle they feel suits them. With that being said I'm considering doing this to my own hair but at the same time I'm not looking for a fight or to have to go out with my boxing gloves on... I know there has been controversy when some celebrities have done this style. Is it because they call it the wrong thing (box braids) or is there more to it?
