Tan With Implants Instead Of Sun

I read the CNN article, and now I'm curious about the other advantages that this drug might give. Using fuzzy logic, if we say that the melanin does something (increase blood flow... or whatever...) to cause and elongation of the penis, which is something that dark people already have, then we can draw a really sketchy line that it would also cause other side effects that already exist in darker skinned people.
Not that most slashdot'ers care about the feelings of other, I am going to try my best to conjure images with out being insensitive. I have often noticed that people with dark skin have a different muscle structure than those of us with pasty white skin. Of course no stereotype works across the board, but this one, on average, holds up. Blacks have better muscle tone, than their white peer. Also, on average, men with white skin fail in comparison their dark skin peers, when gauging the size of the anatomy that make them men.
So, we have the following truth
T1) Pill makes skin darker
T2) Pill increases male member
T3) Black men already have darker skin
T4) Black men already have larger members.
Deductions from there abound. Let's talk about the athletic that the pill could give whites increase athletic prowess, faster reaction speeds, and the longer endurance. However, the reverse could be true as well. It could open the door to whites getting sickle cell anemia, skin flakes, lower SAT scores, and a proclivity to wear a hankie on their heads and shoot up neighborhoods with stolen guns. Could this pill be a blessing? Or will it start a rash of drug dealing, single white mothers.... I guess only time will tell.
