Schizophrenia is considerably more common among people of African ancestry

In the United States, about 3 times more common. African immigrants to Europe and Britain are much more vulnerable to schizophrenia. In Britain, blacks (from the Caribbean) have a seven to ten-fold increased risk. Interestingly, this actually seems to get worse in the second generation.
