Is infertility more common among people of European descent (Caucasian people)?


Whenever i see people on tv (i.e. the discovery health channel, tlc, etc) talking about infertility, it seems like the majority of the people are white women who are or have had trouble trying to conceive. Is infertility more common among White people than other other races? If so, can anyone tell me why? And please people DO NOT turn this into a Black/White issue, and no racist answers please.

I don't think that there are real comparable statistics of infertility among people of European descent compared to other groups or even by location. Fact is that the rates of tested infertility are rising and some people think that in Western civilizations it is due to lifestyle and pollution. I have read that due to environment issues our hormone cycles can be disturbed. Other factors can be stress or work life. In the US and other Western countries, people get married later in life and want children when fertility is waning.
It seems that higher educated civilizations like in Western Europe (and Japan) choose to have less children but also may have a higher rate of infertility. I don't think that skin color has anything to do with it. But I don't know of any other people than white/Caucasian who have addressed this issue.
Does anyone know of any other couples?

I don't really know, but I think that at least watching tv in America there are a lot of white people and so there are just more white people on tv. I might be that whites are less furtile. I don't know it would be interesting to see the facts.

Part of the reason of infertility is diet particularly in the US. Even, if you don't eat golden arches most food here is packed with hormones - hence fertility issues. Coupled with the fact most girls go on the pill-- by the time they decide they want a family there is all the stress with which to contend.

In Europe they don't have as many issues because it is illegal to put hormones in the food.
