No, I'm not. I don't know the nationality of many of the authors of my books, and I really don't care.

I read some historical fiction, and don't see any difference between that and other genres of fiction.
Some locale-specific non-fiction might benefit from a local author, who would potentially have a greater knowledge and understanding of the area, but it's certainly not certain that a local author would be better than a non-local author who did plenty of research.
