    Tolerance to cold has a lot less to do with skin color than it does with a host of other factors, that I won’t bother to list (tl;dr). For example, a black person who grew up in Minneapolis is likely to laugh at weather that would make a white person from Tampa turn blue and keel over. Also, some of the whitest people I know are anemic, and anemics are typically more sensitive to cold.
