It's mainly because of the climate and the population. the colder the climate, the lighter the skin. but if the person is already the same color and his/her mate their children will be the same color as then no mater what the circumstances.

answer 2:

It all depends upon "root stock". The Ainu of Japan, the Inuit of subarctic North America and the Northern Siberians all have darker skin tones, dark eyes and black hair. The Northern Europeans, Scandinavians and Laps have lighter skin tones, lighter eyes and lighter hair - all due to genetics of earliest settlers of those regions.

Does race have to do with the color of your skin?

Contrary to popular belief, no. Skin colour is simply an adaptation to climate. People in hot climates tend to be dark skinned, while people in colder climates tend to be light skinned. People of all races can be coloured differently. For example, Caucasians can be very light skinned (ex. Western Europeans) or very dark skinned (ex. Indians). The only difference between races is the skeletal structures. Technically, the only race is the human race.
