People with darker skin do get sunburnt, but it tends to take longer than for people with lighter skin.
It’s important to note that this is for light vs. dark skin, not just “black” vs. “white” people.
Some white people can be darker, and some black people can be lighter. It depends more on how much melanin is in someone’s skin, not necessarily which parts of the world their ancestors came from.
