It probably has to do with the genetic makeup of medieval and renaissance Europe during the last 1000 years. In Europe it was very cramped and people lived in very close proximity to each other. Because of this constant exposure to poor hygiene and disease, over generations Europeans developed very strong immunities (they had to to survive). As europeans colonized and dispersed throughout the world, they passed on these natural immunities to their descendants in places like the USA (which I assume is what you are referring to)

Caucasians are not inherently less prone to diseases. Disease susceptibility can be influenced by genetic factors, lifestyle, access to healthcare, and environmental exposures. Different populations may have varying risks for certain diseases based on these factors.
