UV rays cause the production of melanin in the skin to block out its harmful effects, natures suntan lotion if you will. Black people have considerably more melanin, due to their ancestry in africa under the sun, white people have very little because they long ago evolved out of the need for it as there is no summer in europe, just varying degrees of autumn.

You might singe, but not tan.
