Testicular. Cancer than being caucasian?

I had cryptorchidism as a child, and had corrective surgery around 3-4 years of age. Last week I felt, what I thought was a lump in the scrotum.. I am a 42 year African American male who's father is African American, and mother, who passed from colon cancer, was biracial (Caucasian/African American). I had my former Dr examine me about t-6 years ago, and he said he didn't feel anything.. I just went to my current Dr, and she thought she felt something, but she was only feeling the testicle itself, but what I felt was more behind the testicle.. I've been checking myself from day to day, and some days it's a little harder to locate than others.. I was wondering if the fact that I did have this condition as a child put me at a greater risk of testicular cancer than being Caucasian? I never get tired, still active, no coughing, change in breast.. A little discomfort from time to time in my right side, which I feel is due to venous insufficiency (vein stripping 2006).
