Frankly, I applaud every Africans in this world with albinism who is moving on with their life because there are many who cannot, or choose, not to live a full life. There are a lot of very ignorant people of African heritage who prey on them, who are cruel to them. I have 2 cousins with albinism back home, so I have experience and what they told me! That is so freaking sad because disrespecting any of us is disrespecting all of us!
White skin is indicative of albinism we agree, and albinism is a genetic defect, ok. But to me African albinos are without a doubt my people as much our sisters and brothers with light skin, kinky hair, thick lips, and nose. Are these albinos like the ones on the pictures "whites" (Europeans/ Arabs, those narrow nosed, thin lipped, straight haired, etc.)? No! It’s clear that they are not "Caucasians" and if you do blood test they are most certainly African.
