While i was at the beach enjoying holiday with my family and having time to relax. Watching people do their own thing. I was lying down in there at the beach and i noticed why white people easily get sunburn and the you cannot find dark people get sunburn? Whant is the scientific explantaion about this matter? I want to know hehehehehehehehe. For me i don't get sunburn coz im not a white person that is for sure. Or maybe because they forgot to put sunblock or what?Enlighten me..thanks

in my profession i learned that the lighter the skon the easyer it is to burn.if your skin is light you have to put a sun blocker on to protect your skin.even when you are dark skinned you still can burn you can get darker.

"Dark People", as you put it have a different skin "compound" then "white people". Dark people get darker not tanner, they can use sun block but there skin absorbs it faster than White people.
