Authenticity

Is food less authentic if the chef/cook is not of the same ethnic as the food? In other words, is a Chinese dish less authentically Chinese if the person who cooked it is German?

What makes a dish authentic? Is it the ingredients? the method of cooking/preparation? or the person who's cooking it?

If everything about the dish is ethnically authentic and genuine, does it matter who's doing the cooking?
