One of the leads on the game touched upon the topic of Voodoo Boys and the somewhat stereotypical gang name in this interview:
" "So the Voodoo Boys for example, the name comes not from the people themselves. That's not how they would call themselves. But that's how people from the city treat those people," explains Tomaszkiewicz. "They are extremely prejudiced towards them and because they are from Haiti where Voodoo is like an actual religion, this is what the label that they gave them. So through that we want to kind of show that the city oppresses them and the city doesn't accept them.
However as you progress through the story, as you saw in this quest, you see that actually they are not at all like stereotypical, like I don't know witch doctors or anything like that. They are actually very highly skilled Netrunners. They are some of the best in the city and they have nothing really in common with the prejudice that is built around them. [...] So in general, yes, I would argue is that we would like to portray the oppressiveness of the system and like how these people think in Night City about different people and how they treat each other." "
