The term zombie in some form originated in Africa and as someone mentioned was brought here. However, the zombie is no more appropriation than the term ghoul is. The terms may have been filtered into other cultures but the idea of the living dead, like the concept of dragons, is something that can be seen in many cultures.
The use of the term Zombie, Zombi, Zonbi, or nzambi are not in any way contributing to some of sort of cultural sponge sucking the life of out Haiti, which is not the real origin of the words OR the spiritual belief in any case.
