I don't think elasticity has anything to do with ethnicity, it does depends on genetics and lifestyle especially nutritional status, and yes youth should have more elasticity than a 50 yr old.

Being 23 or 43, when you loose over 100 #'s don't be surprised when you have extra skin...

Yes I have extra skin especially on my abdomen and legs and under arms. I am Black 55yo Female..
