There are several, but some examples include...

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that disproportionately affects people of European descent.

Diabetes 2 disproportionately affects African and Latino Americans (but not the people in Africa or Latin America).

Asians have really high rates of stomach and esophageal cancer.

The first disease is genetic, but the other two are linked to lifestyle risk factors.
