              With cutaneous melanoma (those appearing on the outer skin), yes it is more common in light skinned races.  But with mucosal melanoma, which appears on the inner linings, these are more common in those of Asian heritage.  This is why China and Japan both have more experience in these type of melanomas than the Western countries.
