no but some races are more genetically prone to certain diseases
ex: Mediterranean races- thalisemia major or minor
black- sickle cell
blood types have nothing to do with race

Yes. When looking at basic ABO and Rh blood types and racial groups, the percentage of people with any particular blood type vary. What's really interesting here, though, is that it seems that as our understanding of genetics expands, it's harder and harder to figure out what, if anything, a "race" is, at least in genetic terms. It seems that genetically we are all of the human race.

Good question sorry i don't know But African Americans Can develop sickle cell anemia and only Africans. I think different genes and maybe blood types of different races can possibly cure diseases.

Yes, I don't remember the specifics, but I remember that Native Americans (and maybe other races) lean heavily toward one blood type.

Nope. People of all races can have any blood type.

nope but there is relation between blood diseases and races (like sickle-cell anemia is most common in black people)
