Yes, some folks are guilt of 'diluting' certain aspects, but barring that, there is no problem with anybody, including white folks taking part! Stop trolling! @Timoha De Oña :

He is a truly unique Mestre, who is an inspiration to all who follow. I would like to humbly disagree with the following though. I quote: "Capoeira is not a death-fight, and its only mortal blow was created by Waldemar, who says: “The Dentinho de Angola (little tooth of angola) can kill, yes ma’am. The movement involves curving the body and lifting the heel of your shoe to the opponent’s Adam’s apple." In my opinion there is no such thing as a mortal blow. There are however spots on the human body which can be hit and possibly cause death. If you would hit that same adam's apple with any other kick that can reach, the consequence would be the same.
