>Melanoma, the truly deadly skin cancer, is more prevalent in populations with less sun exposure. It's vastly more prevalent in white people versus other skin colors. Even at the same latitude. Even in the same country. The incidence rate of malignant melanoma in the US is about 30 times higher for Whites than Blacks. https://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/melan.html https://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/melan.html If somebody is White, getting more sun won't prevent melanoma; it does the opposite. Sunlight and vitamin D are still good things, so White people should spend time outside with sunscreen or protective clothing.
