Why aren't zombi stories cultural appropriation?

Well, I thought that zombi were West African in origin, brought to Haiti by the slaves imported to there.

But, honestly, how many average people know where zombi stories originate. Appropriation is possible, even in ignorance, though I think that's shades different than knowing appropriation like faux war-chants used by fans of teams named after Native American tribal groups, too.
