  1. I notice on every other race their sclera (white part of the eye) are white, but africans have yellow where the white part is. Why is this?
     
  2. why do black people have black nipples?
     
  3. Are black peoples poo's white?/
     
  4. Sclera turns yellow in people with hepatitis. I'm pretty sure most African Americans don't have yellow sclera.
     
  5. maybe i should have posted this in a diferent section....

    this is a serious question and i'm sure there's a scientific explanation.
     
  6. Found the answer...

    "Many fair to dark-skinned races, such as Filipinos and African-Americans and others, have profound deposits of subconjunctival fat. This contains high levels of carotene in adequate quantities to mimic jaundice. The fatty deposits grow to be denser as the distance from the cornea increases."

    here's an extreme example of conjunctival fat
