Are white folks better suited for cold climates than black folks ?

Take a look at the Innuit (eskimos). Their skin is dark. People of Siberia have darker skin than Europeans. I think its more a matter of genetics than the amount of melanin.

I prefer the winter.  When it's cold, there are less crazy people wandering around outside.

Yes, darker colors absorb heat quicker.\n\nFor example, you would not want to wear a black shirt outside when it is hot out.\nIt would be smarter to wear a white shirt, because it would not get hot as fast.

Winter. I prefer being cold to being hot too, and I am not a great outdoors person. It did not think others liked winter too.

Since it is believed that people are originally from Africa, dark colored skin would have been the norm.  However, as people migrated north they weren't getting as much sun because they had to cover up to keep warm.  However, black people who get very little sun develope vitamin D deficiency because your body requires sunlight to make the last step of the synthesis go.  So, their skin needed to let more light in and it was beneficial to them to evolve lighter colored skin.  \nHave you noticed (part of it is interbreeding with white people, of course) that American blacks, who have been in the US about 200 years, are not nearly as dark black as native Africans anymore?

Darker colors absorb the sun's rays and heat is built up.  Lighter colors tend to reflect and they stay cooler.  That's why people tend to wear white or light colors in the summer and dark colors in the winter.

Alaska has lots of native Americans, and they are probably the lowest in numbers of any of the minority. So I don't think Alaska will have any all white towns either, but I did like your take on the question :)  saying that snow makes it white :)\n\nHonestly, there are like 40 different kinds of "white" either way.  Look at Swedes, they tend to have blond hair/ blue eyes, and tend to be slightly taller..  Dutch on average are the tallest of any race.  Irish tend to be slightly shorter, and naturally stronger due to a higher percentage of Type II b muscle fibers. The gene for red hair only exists in Scottish people. So if you have read hair, you have at least some Scottish in you.  Italians tend to have black hair, and their body hair tends to grow faster. Russians, are less likely to get hypothermia, and have a thicker epidermis, this helps their bodies retain heat better, and makes them less likely to suffer skin abrasions.   These are not racial stereotypes, these are genetic facts, which have been proven.\n\nNot all "light skinned" people are the same.  Grouping all light skinned people together, is like grouping Iraqi's, Indian, Chinese,  and japanese, and saying they are all the same.  They are in fact all different,  though there skin colors may all be similar.  \nOnce more, look at blacks.  People from the virgin islands, though considered "black", and very dark in skin tone, tend to be a lot shorter, have higher pitched voices, and have small physical frames.  While people from Nigeria are taller, larger framed, and have deeper voices. Ethiopians tend to have slightly recessed hair lines, and along with Kenyans, they both tend to have a higher percentage of Type II A muscle Fibres, which is why they have produced so many world class distance runners.\n\nI don't like the idea of grouping all "white" people together, I'm Swedish, not "white",  out of a family of 7, all of my brothers and sisters have blond hair and blue eyes. My father, both of my grandfathers, myself, and all 3 of my brothers are all over 6'1 as well.\n\nIf by "white towns", you meant all the buildings were painted white, I can't help you there, maybe someone with a can of white spray paint got bored? and painted a whole town?

In general the Black people are faster so they play postions like Running Back and Wide Reciever, postions where speed is of great importance. So the Whites focus on the postions where they can get away with not being as fast. That is why they play things like the Offensive Line and Quarterback. They don't need to be as fast.

They are better at sprints and boxing due to fast twitch muscles that allow explosive bursts,whites are alot better equipped at power based sports such as wrestling powerlifting and feild events due to slower twitch muscles,so it goes both ways,whites will never be able to compete a sprints with black dudes but they could never compete with whites on power based things,its the way it goes.

When you aren't really white as you put it, you are more insecure and want to highlight your whiteness by downplaying anyone "less" white than you.  That goes for a lot of cultures that are not northern european yet still not african.  They try to distance themselves from black.  After all, who wants the plight of the African-American.  Also, "Traditional" implies less wordly, less educated, so you'd tend to be more racist.  Racism and ignorance are correlated.

Cold and dry, which is a good thing, since I live in Wyoming.  Very cold and dry up here.  Hot humid days kill me.

That would depend on a variety of factors, namely air temperature, wind chill, what the individual is dressed in, their size, overall health (can they physically move around to keep themselves warm), and so on.
