But it might be because all the white people with dreads that I've met have had the whole "dirty hippy" look down to a T. tbh... one of the few times I saw this combination was my mother... it wasn't a great look for her and she only did it once around the time my parents were frequenting caribean cruises... but my point was that I've never heard of a white person "claiming" dreads, while acting with disdain towards a black persons dreadlocks... it seems to me most white people with dreads either have black ancestry or identify with a black(or predominently black) culture(or are just trying it out for novelty). None of the above seem likely to insult dreads on a black person or claim they came up with it... though I'm pretty sure the style was also used in Europe as Phantomlink said.
