Question

I need a disease would strike only white men and be fatal. These need to be credible, but not factual, necessarily. Any scientific or theoretical notions are appreciated.

Answer 1

How about a new and very aggressive for of skin cancer. See facts below from wikipedia.com:

Dark skin protects against those skin cancers that are caused by mutations in skin cells induced by ultraviolet light. Light-skinned persons have about a tenfold greater risk of dying from skin cancer under equal sun conditions. Furthermore, dark skin prevents UV-A radiation from destroying the essential B vitamin folate. Folate is needed for the synthesis of DNA in dividing cells and too low levels of folate in pregnant women are associated with birth defects.

Answer 2

Credible but not factual? That makes no sense. If it's CREDIBLE then it's in all likelihood, factual. And really, if you cannot come up with something on your own, perhaps you should re-think trying to write. Writing is a creative process that comes from within. You don't run around asking others to do YOUR creating for you! Obviously, it then becomes someone else's creative process.
