The World of Darkness is, well, a dark place. All types of bigotry exist in this fictional world, but player characters never directly experience discrimination based on their membership in real-world marginalized groups. That said, sometimes real-life bigotry appears in character backstories or events unfolding around the characters. I do my best to "stay in my lane" when depicting marginalization or discrimination outside my lived experience, while also featuring a diverse cast of SPCs. Players are welcome to incorporate their lived experiences into their characters, provided they're comfortable doing so. 

Players are welcome to roleplay characters from backgrounds different to their own. Indeed, for many, this is part of the allure of TTRPGs. However, I do ask that players be reasonably well-informed about the identities they're representing. This isn't DnD (no shade to my DnD girlies). In DnD, there's no need to worry that you might do real harm to real people by playing a goofy Barbarian stereotype or a horny Bard. In contrast, WoD games are set in an analog of our world. The identities we portray have real counterparts, some of whom share the table with us and all of whom share the world with us. I expect players to take this into account when creating their characters.

Voodoo and hoodoo are real spiritual practices performed by real people in the real world. They are not stock horror tropes, nor do they exist to add edgy shock value to a campaign. However, they are part of the fabric of Southern culture and a staple of Southern Gothic. For this reason, I'm okay with including these practices in the campaign provided that these spiritual practices are part of a character's larger world view and the practices are portrayed with a reasonable degree of accuracy. 

Georgia is home to fascinating subcultures, like the Gullah. I ask that players who wish to roleplay one of these marginalized subcultures have a damn good reason for doing so. Be prepared for me to ask, "Why this character?" If you struggle to think of an answer to this question, then perhaps consider a character from a different background.
