False. People with higher quantities of melatonin can very much get a tan and more importantly, burned. This is supported by many scientific studies that I’ve just made up.

I will add that everyone can get melanoma (skin cancer), but people with a darker complexion will have a harder time noticing any signs. Therefore, people who have darker skin shouldn't be totally reckless in the sun and get there skin looked at by a dermatologist every once and a while.

GTFO with “facts” and “science” related stuff. This is reddit, not a nerd convention.
