Jamaican voodoo witch doctors are an old trope. Though they originally planned him to be British.

Why not.

Probably something the VA did for fun one take and people liked it.

Per Frederator's 107 facts video, the actor was trying to sound Swedish because of The Seventh Seal, but his accent was so bad it sounded kinda Jamaican. And they thought that was funny enough to have him actually do a Jamaican accent.

he was suppose to be British

but after Maxwell Atoms heard the VA do a read of Grim in that style he was sold

He played limbo in the Pilot.

also why was he white when he got turned human? Also that episode was a missed opportunity.

There would probably have been a lot of bad PR if they made Death a black man who carries a weapon at all times on his person

This. Grim was originally gonna be British, but then his VA decided to try a different take, everyone liked it, it stuck.

He's basically a slave to two shitty white kids who treat him like crap. If they straight-up made him black instead of just letting him be a Jamaican-sounding skeleton, that would've stirred up a lot of negative connotations with the show's premise.

Because he lived in Limbo
