White people's ancestors had to survive brutal winters. It's the reason they're white.

Ehhhh, even places like the Sahara can get below freezing temps at night. Of course we also shouldn't forget that people native to the Asian steppe and American high plains would also need to deal with freezing temps. I just think that it's a human trait in general to need to mess with fires. (That probably stems from a vast amount of people on earth being able to trace their heritage back to the Mongols)
