Well, it's like why are some non-white people interested in European religions? Should European descended people be made uncomfortable about that?
You can not compare faiths that came from the African diaspora and developed due to slavery and oppression in order to honour our ancestors. Euro faiths have a completely different context. Why would white people want to honour their ancestors in the context of voodoo? Makes no sense since voodoo also served as a rebellion against those same white ancestors.
A lot of white people do that in boarder culture. E.g Native American headresses. So yeah the suspicion is valid.Even if some people have done that, why should a person be viewed with suspicion simply due to the color of their skin? As long as they aren't taking it out of context themselves, why should there be a problem?
