I'm sorry my explanation wasn't clear enough.
A) You ask me why there hasn't been a major Mac virus when my whole point is to explain why there hasn't been a major Mac virus.
B.1) Native Americans might not catch colds if they weren't human beings.
B.2) Looking beyond the fact that they do not need some kind of radically different virus to get a cold, Native Americans originally lived amongst themselves (100% homogeneity, not 3%) and today often live on Native-only reserves. However, in this hypothetical situation the ones living as a small minority in a city would get very few colds.
Anyhow, if you want a better explanation you should check out just about any book on epidemiology, or that popular 'The Tipping Point' by M. Gladwell. Books on chaos theory will also often discuss epidemiology in a relevant manner.
