Answer 1

There's a difference in the way black people scar. They are prone to keloid scarring, where instead of small flat scars that fade over the years you get huge great raised weals from deep incisions. This is used for a decorative effect in tribal scarring.

Olive skinned people also don't react well to scarring, it's why cosmetic surgeons are reluctant to carry out dermabrasion on darker skinned people.

Answer 2

WTH; that's probably the dumbest thing that I have ever heard. First of all, Puerto Rican and Dominican is not even a race. Dominicans are either Black or Mulatto, and Puerto Ricans are a mixture of Black, Taino, and European.

You go into the "dumb question" category.  

Answer 3

There is no difference in the skin texture whatsoever.  The only difference in people with darker skin than others is the presence of more melanin in their dermal layers.

All humans have the exact same biological structure for the most part (their are some medical anomalies), however some of us have different pigmentation in our skin (like melanin, hemoglobin, keratin, etc.).

Answer 4

Between humans there are no "races", only different  physical types.

For your carreer is very important do not forget this matter. Skin textures are unique;  in  the same family you'll find differences.

Nothing relative to "color" skin.
