Rare Blood Types

The Bloodbook website lists rare ethic-related blood types. Here is an example of the most common blood types in the most often seen rare ethnic categories:

African American Blacks - U- and Duffy-

American Indians and Alaskan Native peoples – RzRz

Pacific Island peoples and Asians - Jk ( a- b- )

Hispanics - Di ( b- )

Russian Jews - Dr ( a- )

Whites - Kp ( b- ) and Vel

This means, of course, that minority and diverse populations play a critical role in meeting the constant need for blood for diversity.
