I have seen 2-3 people in my lifetime who look like this. I do not know anyone personally. Little girl has a cute smile!!! 
This genetic mutation has occured for millions of years and parents who bring the child to adulthood, usually are shunned. It is culturally taboo to have one of these children. Which is rather sad because I think that is where hatred of one's skin started with this anthropological and genetic mutation... |
Well...yeah...they are albino and albinoism occurs in every racial group. I have only seen black/African diasporic and white albinos in person, though.
So, suffice it to say that I would prefer that my child not be void of pigment. That's a taboo that is more than a cultural issue. It is not an issue of not wanting a child who is "too light" or "too dark."
But I figured today that someone was going to bring up albinos in this thread. And I didn't bring up albinos because that is a completely different topic.
