Do they really? Do you have a source on that one? I have never heard of this before so I’m interested to learn more about it.

Don't get me wrong, MUCH more work still needs to be done in researching this. I don't think it's entirely an issue of genes, there's definitely thought patterns, values, beliefs, environmental factors/triggers, stress and other things, but it appears to be more prevalent in whites than non-whites.
