Anyone know any African Americans who have been successfully treated?

I am an African American male and I tried treatment with Peg/Ribaviron two times.  Neither was succesful.  I know that African Americans are poor responders.  But how poor I can't figure out.  Does anyone here actually know of an African American who has svr?
