Are you referring to people who have tanned themselves frequently in their younger days to get the leather appearance when they retire? I've seen elderly people from asia who have that same texture, don't think it's racial.

Actually, their aging has little to do with aging. A European (or white) person's skin is naturally thinner, thus causing wrinkles to be more prominent. But in general, it's a natural reaction to unhealthy practices, stress, and altogether age and weathering.
Oh yeah, and Culo? Nice answer. Shows where you stand on the intellectual spectrum.

White people have the least calcium in thier skin, and they burn easily went they get to the sun for a long period of time plus no a days these people tan themselves for countless hours of course the exposure will give them brown spots, wrinkles,etc. This includes for other ethnicities excluding the blacks because they have the highest percentage of calcium in their skins in their due to their color and have least chance of getting skin cancer from the UV lights from the sun.

Have no idea what you are talking about. Just turned 42 near Pensacola Beach Florida, spent my whole life in the sun tanning and in tanning beds. I still get mistaken for being in my late 20's to early 30's, you just have to eat right and know how to take care of your skin.

white people who stay out in the sun age quickly, because our skin is genetically made for more cloudy areas with less sun, thats why put sun block on my face everyday, even in the winter!

I really don`t think that ALL white ppl like myself age so quickly. I believe its how you treat your diet; stress; partying; It has alot to do with your lifestyle. I do wear a sunscreen protection while I am sunbathing, walking, and gardening. I also put a good moisturizer on my face and neck every morning and night....So I do believe its up to the indivdual who takes care of their steeple...I am 62 and ppl don`t think that I am over 40...that`s taking care of yourself !!!!

Because we like to sun bath and it wrecks our skin, plus smoking and drinking also make us white people age quickly.

Hey D; I don't know why lighter skinned people age quickly,
I know that darker skinned people don't seem to age as fast as the lighter skinned people.
Maybe it's because their skin is thinner therefore it wrinkles and sags quickly. Anyway man's life span is only 70 years.
So go figure..............

Most white people have thinner skin than people of darker groups. I dont know if this has to do with melanin or not. I do know that because the tissue is so thin, it wrinkles and sags much quicker than people with darker skin.
