That's so odd to me, I wonder why the disparity based on race... if I was going to guess based on Race - I'd think it be the white guys not getting enough sun since so many of us burn so easily ... I know everyone can burn but I always figured white skin to be the most susceptible to sunshine... I assume that is correct... so why would whites have the best Vitamin D levels in a country of snow and limited summer.
