Social vs race: Socioeconomic vs race places a part in addiction. In middle eastern population addiction was high with either ingesting or smoking opium vs alcohol or cocaine.

Addict: Ethnicity by itself is not necessarily a contributing factor. Biological predisposition, psychological and social factors all come into play.
