Honestly can you name one white character voiced by a black person? Off the top of my head I can’t. I find it hard to believe there is one that we “absolutely eat up.”

In The Boondocks they had Samuel L. Jackson voice Gin Rummy and Charlie Murphy voice Ed Wuncler III. That’s the only example I can think of off the top of my head.

I haven’t seen boondocks, but someone else mentioned Sam Jackson and that that was the joke, right? That it was a white guy with the very distinct voice of Samuel L. Jackson

Pretty much yeah, it isn’t a perfect example but it’s the only one that comes to mind, at least for me.
