Darker skin has more melanin, a pigment that provides protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. This increased melanin can help reduce the risk of skin damage and certain skin cancers. Additionally, melanin contributes to the skin's ability to absorb and retain moisture, potentially leading to differences in skin texture and hydration.

Do darker skinned citizens constitute the majority of America?

Darker than what? Suppose you were to take a hundred people, and line them up in order of skin color from lightest to darkest. Then if you counted down to number 50, half the people would be lighter than that person and half would be darker. (OK, 49 would be lighter, 50 would be darker, and then there is the one in the middle.) But if you counted to number 45 or number 55, then the majority would be either lighter or darker than the one you counted to. The majority is probably somewhat darker than I am.
