According to an internet search, head lice don't really care which race they attach to, but African Americans seem to get them less often than other races. It might be due to hair styling preparations or that the type of head louse may have claws better adapted a particular size or shape of hair shaft. Pre-school and elementary school children are frequent victims and vectors. Girls might get them more than boys and lice seem to prefer long hair over short hair.

Does Klinefelter's syndrome affect a particular population or race?

No race is more likely to spontaneously have issues with meiosis, and as Klinefelter's is not hereditary (anyone with it is infertile and cannot pass on genes) no race will become more likely to have Klinefelter's syndrome. The population of older women who have children is more likely to have Klinefelter's babies. Older women are less likely to miscarry a baby with a chromosomal defect, so more Klinefelter's babies are born to them.
