Albinism - The People the Challenge - Chapter 5

[shusaved]

I see that you have dark eyed albino people. I thought true albinism had pink eyes.

[winchandpulley]

@shusaved Common misconception. I believe they comment about that in the film.

[PrimaGymnast47]

some of them look white by their hair

[sonbuhitsunei]

@PrimaGymnast47 And what's that even mean? People of European descent have hair that varies greatly...from tightly curled to straight, black to blond to brown to red and variations of the above. You can't really say there's any one characteristic that is "white"...there are plenty of "white" people who are darker skinned than many asians or hispanics - particularly those of Greek/Italian blood. Just as there are "black" people who have features more akin to Europeans.

[PrimaGymnast47]

@sonbuhitsunei Are you okay? I wrote that three weeks ago, just stating my opinion, and MY observations.

So shut up, I'm not going to read your essay.

[sonbuhitsunei]

@PrimaGymnast47 Your point is, dumbass? Your comment is still incredibly ignorant. So how about you shut your witless mouth, hmm? Yeah, buh bye.

[PrimaGymnast47]

@sonbuhitsunei My point is that I don't give a damn about your facts.

You could have just said that whites or ANY other ethnicity could be Albino, not only blacks, LOL.

[PhilosoFighter2012]

some albino people are really ugly some are really pretty and some are inbetween. guys they are just like everyone else XD

[freacls]

wow a lot of these pepole have better jobs than me their really smart

[PrimaGymnast47]

Hey, sorry for a dumb questions, but could white people get a mutation where they are born with black skin? :P

[kimmicub17]

@PrimaGymnast47 umm idk maybe if the mutation is severe enough

[PrimaGymnast47]

@kimmicub17 What mutation though?

[kimmicub17]

@PrimaGymnast47 a mutation to the pigment. idk what mutation it would be...

[globe255]

Albino people is basically just white, they just have a little more white skin than just white, but just as beautiful as white. There is many beautiful albino women wow, but there is also beautiful white black, yellow and red people- women of course lol

[badmaashpawpaw]

I am very proud to be a would be husband of someone born with Albinism....Please note that looks are not everything in life....Humanity is..

[MissCrabyCake]

@badmaashpawpaw I always thought albinos looked pretty. I might just have a taste for the strange, or at lest different, but people that have the classic case of Albinism remind me of white lillys. Lillys are my Favorite flower; But your point stands firm.

[nwambj]

maybe this is how this ppl they call white started in the first place

[DBSwaggINK39]

this looks like it was filmed in the 80's ....i think they should modernize an remake this because I KNOW i have hella shit to say to dem li'l yack yackin albino haters

[PinkSkiiTtLeZzYoanNa]

albino people aren't bad at all, their blonde hair colors isnt too weird. but the strange vision problem they have is bad...........................­...........i didnt get it though...what is their vision problem? i didnt find any explanation so far. will someone explain it to me?

[loveposion132]

some of them just look white...

[MsLennah]

@loveposion132 Thats because there are many different types

(OCA) which stands for a very large word i don't even know ho to pronounce, affects the eyes, skin and hair. While other types may only deal with the eyes, or skin.

enjoy this link if you want to find out more ^_^

[TsakirisAlexandros]

@loveposion132 Yes because being caucasian and very pale is not that uncommon even if you do not have albinism.

The strange people are those who naturally would have dark skin and hair (like africans or asians)

[flashingfirefly]

The elbinos I see had pink eyes and white hair and nothing like this......some wore contacts to protect their eyes

[xxNightberryx]

@flashingfirefly they don't have pink eyes!!! most of them have blue or gray eyes in light colors!

[IrreplacablePerry]

Look up eye color on Wikipedia - their eyes don't look pink under normal light but if you looked at them under the right kind some of them would.

[MsLennah]

@flashingfirefly

we don't have pink eyes. -_-

although a friend of mine has violet eyes

[girly5692]

this is a very inspiring documentary, I learned so much about albinism. Thank you for making this =)

[DirtyLoveJoy]

Great program about albinos from all walks of life. Very classic and beautiful documentary program.

[Naddlem]

Thank you very much for that. I didn't really know much about albinism before watching this documentary but now I do! ;)

[LEXPIX]

Well done.
