Though there are probably white people in the world who call themselves "Rastafarian", it is EXTREMELY likely that no authentic Rastafarian practitioners would ever accept a white-skinned person as a "true" Rastafarian. A distrust of whites runs through many Rastafarian circles and has become a part of Rastafarian background. For some it is even a hatred of whites or a view of them as "the enemy" because powerful "white" nations have either tried to directly oppress believers in the past or have shown little regard for those of other races. The only possible tiny exception I could think of would be that if, perhaps, a white child were born in Jamaica and/or was cared for from infancy by a family who practiced Rastafarian beliefs, maybe they would include him or her in it. I doubt this, however.
