it's like a yes and no thing you know... In some extends it is, but not always. Ofcourse cancers could occur to anyone, any race. For examples... White American women have the highest percentage of breast cancer in the world, White American males have the highest pertentage of lung cancer in the world, while Japanese have one of the lowest cancer types of any kind, and Chinese have the highest stomach cancer in the world. What's sup with that??? Eventhough cancers could strike any races, anyone, but a certain race have a higher chance of getting a certain cancer than other races. You get where i'm goine?

A tiny bit of research indicate that white women have the highest instance of over all cancers among women.
Among women, the racial/ethnic
differences in the incidence rates for all
cancers are not as extreme as they are for
men. The rate is highest for non-Hispanic
white women, followed by Alaska Native
(< 2% lower), white (2% lower), black (8%
lower) and Hawaiian (9% lower) women.
The lowest rates occur in American Indian
women in New Mexico and Korean women.
Similar to the pattern in men, rates among
women are low for Koreans, Chinese and
Filipinos. The incidence rate for all cancers
in Vietnamese women is the highest among
Asian women, and is higher than that for
white Hispanic women. Alaska Natives
have the highest rate among women 30-54
years and 70 years and older. Non-Hispanic
white rates are highest among women in the
55-69 year old age group.

Everything causes cancer. I'm serious, if you look at medical studies for the past 50 years, everything in the world causes cancer according to some study. Take them all with a grain of salt.

are you serious??? Next thing people are going to say is that insects are racist... I am so sick of all the racist talk in the world... We are all living here just trying to make it... who care what color we are, or where we grew up, or if our ancestors came from another country, or anything... if people would just let it go, I think we would all get over this dang gone racist thing!!!! I did not have slaves, nor did my parents. I am not the one who hung black people for anything. Yes it was a horrible thing that happened in the 30, 40 and 50's. but let's move on people.!!!!!!
