Because of USA racism.

The scientific community is clear that there are no races, it’s an American thing, though you’ll see lots of supposed explanations, all bogus.

There cannot be health reasons, because black, for instance, is not a race. Two random black people may be genetically closer to a Scandinavian than to each other.
