Not trying to be racist, but does this mean darker skinned people (caused by sun burn) are sexually more active?

Sun burn doesn’t cause darker skin. Also being tan from sun exposure doesn’t have much to do with race. Melanin in the skin functions as a protectant against UV rays, so you would actually expect paler people to have more reaction to UV simply because they would have more exposure.
