  • haha dude is so cool

  • All I can think is you guys are people I'd love to hang out with. Like you're so nice and really cute together. I've never seen such a beautiful couple! :)

  • hey guys! i was just wondering.. what would happens if you get a tan ( at a tanning salon ) and died your hair? would it be a bad thing??

  • @TheCitygurl96 We can dye our hair with no problem, and some people do dye theirs often. We are physically unable to tan because we do not have pigment in our skin to tan. However, some people use self tanner or get a spray tan, which works for the people that want a tan look!

  • Matt is so Dashy! Love you dude you have an awesome smile!

    And Ashley your really pretty!

    Dont know how i ended up here but i'm glad i did as well.

  • haha you guys are so cute ;)

  • she is pretty

  • Oh and both of you guys are cute as hell haha happy valentines and have a great relationship and life!!

  • Is your hair as thick as non-albinism people? It looks thinner but maybe it's just the lack of pigmentation..

  • @Varcovis My hair is actually rather thick! I just straightened it that day and half of it is pulled back.

  • Great video guys! Videos like this one help society more than you may know. Thanks for sharing :)

  • I get the whole bad vision thing. When i dont have my glasses on i feel like i see things pretty well, but then when i put my glasses on i realize that i really saw things horribly.

    Also one time during class i was looking at someone without my glasses on and i was squinting and they totally thought i was giving them the death stare, but then i was like omg! no sorry i didnt even no i was staring at you so directly!

  • I like how you talked about the recessive gene thing.

  • They are both so beautiful wow.

  • i hate it when people make fun of other people. you guys seem awesome

  • haha! you guys!! i love it, you guys are totally at peace with yourselves do you know how awesome that is???

  • @touchingwildhorses I dye my eyebrows :)

  • Make another video.. please? ):

  • @touchingwildhorses She dyes them.

  • i hate when people are like do you see that?! OMG! no. no i don't but i have perfectly good eyesight. its like which direction? the sky? the ground? strait freaking forward? and then finally i'm like what the hell is it!?!?!? any description would be nice at what i'm supposed to be seeing.O.o

  • Comment removed

  • MAKE MORE VIDEOS!!! YALL ARE GREAT

  • girls die there hair that colour and you have it for free! you should be proud:)

  • Wow what a beautiful girl :-)

  • Aw you guys are a funny couple, thanks for making the facts about albinism clear for the rest of us!

  • You guys are so cute!

  • I think you two are the most beautiful couple!

    If you two got married you'd have the most

    beautiful family!

  • i love my cousin <3 hi matt! hi ashley! <3

    -phoebe :D

  • @mangaismything Hi, Phoebe! We miss you! <3

  • When someone has albinism does tht mean tht there parents are black or can they be white aswelll?? Xx

  • @sunnycindy92 Parent that have children with albinism can be any race! Albinism is not specific to any race. It can occur in any race.

  • @sunnycindy92 they can be white lol. Those are two Caucasian people with albinism

  • @JoolieRoolie Matt is actually hispanic! Ashley is caucasian. :)

  • I still don't get it. So your vision is not blurry but you can't see well. So, does that mean that .. I don't get it, in what other ways can someone not see well?? This probably sounds stupid but I'm really curious. Is it that you see things really light or really dark??

  • @IRISistibleMakeup We just don't see things in as much detail. It is not blurry and we do not only see things that are really light or really dark. Albinism does not cause color blindness or anything like that. For example, if we are looking at someone's face at a comfortable distance from one another, we can see that they have eyes but we could not tell you any details about them such as the color. I hope that this makes a little more sense! It's complicated to explain!

  • I always get tested for colour blindness, but the doctors never found anything. Do you guys use the max TV glasses at all? I can see clearly with further with them, so am just hoping they will let me use it when I go into to do my eye exam for driving.

  • beautiful !!!!

  • I love you two! lol, you're so fun! :)

  • I'm confused... my nephew has albinism, and I would normally ask him questions but since he's 3 and is just learning colors and probably wouldn't know how to answer... So I was wondering if you are colorblind or not? I'm not trying to be rude or anything & i was also wondering if you guys bruise easily or not?

    <3 R

  • @Rhyli1990 I have albinism and I've never heard of color blindness being associated with it. I don't know why it would be. Also, there is one form of albinism where people bruise easily (Hermonsky-Podlak (sp?)), but most of us bruise the same as everyone else.

  • @Rhyli1990 3years old is not the best time to be making your nephew self-conscious... let him have a care free period a little...if just realise that he's a boy first before anything, u would actually be helping...probably don't mean any harm but that doesn't change the fact...

  • ...Just wanted to mention that about the different parts of the U.S. are definitely a cultural shock and wow! What a difference! Something I didn't get to find out is if you two are going to do more videos. I just like your personalities. You could do a talk show. You're just straight up people and I talk to a lot of people. Enjoyed it a lot. What do you do besides albinism? Hobbies, interests, etc. I didn't notice about your eyebrows, Ashely! Didn't even notice LOL, just looked usual to me.

  • So I ran out of room to tell you some of my thoughts about things you mentioned, like I got Meningitis this summer and it attacked my eyes, so I can relate to some extent with the vision thing. I get light in my eyes and I'm done for awhile. My eyes have healed some, but I haven't tried shooting my bow, but no, no hunting for me. Also, I just want to let you know, thanks, I didn't no it was a NO word saying albino. Good to know. Incidentally, I've lived in Cal, visited Ga, but lived in NC

  • You two are a fun couple! YaY! Love you! I hope you do more videos. You have great personalities and I got some great laughs. Your explanations are fantastic. I want you to know that I got a great grade because I used your link to support information in my anthropology class where we were discussing race and skin pigment. Where I live there is a visually impaired school so I've grown up in a population where albinism is kind of the norm, so I'm glad to have the opportunity to learn some things.

  • you guys are cute together!

  • Hey guys, I just find out your videos and they are awesome. So here's the deal, my girlfriend has albinism and we live in Brazil, and here like you probably can imagine, we have a lot of sun, so, how she can protect her skin from sun? I mean like a way that she can enjoy her time in the beach and with free air.

    by the way, Ashley, you looks awesome.

  • You guys really look nice in red<3

    ty for the vid!

  • Your eyes are so cool xD

  • "How do u see" LoL That is stupid question

  • i have a question....can you be albino if both of your parents are white? if that makes sense...sorry for the ignorance i just dont know alot on the issue

  • @SharmyyBarmyy Not necessarily. Both parents have to be carriers of the gene for you to have a 1 in 4 chance of getting the condition. Even people classified as white have some pigment and can tan their skin but people with albinism have no pigment at all. Just clarifying. oh and I don't have albinism I've just read a ton of literature about it. I also have a friend with the condition. She is really cool.

  • this might be a stupid question. but if you have albinism, can you die your hair? ;p

  • @AmeliaKelsey it's not a stupid question! We can dye our hair and some people do! Matt used to dye his hair, actually!

  • you loooook FINE! you dont even look like you are albino

  • I get what your saying about the albino term. It's like asking someone if they are Chinese when they are actually Vietnamese, Thai or Japanese. It's just rude to presume something about someone that may not be true...such as assuming someone is pregnant when she simply has a pudgy belly or assuming a bald person has cancer/chemo just because he/she is bald.

  • why dont u wear glasses?

    my eyesight is 20/200 and i couldnt LIVE without my glasses!

    

  • @hindg ITS CONFIDENCE. i'm albino and i cross busy streets even. You just trust your judgement about what you think you are seeing. experience can help you see better than you think. if you listen to what people say you need then you will start believing them. CONFIDENCE is letting matt n ashly drive with occational aid of their monoculars see?!

  • i have that bracelet... :3

  • Why are your eyebrows dark then girl?

  • @ibanez69mrj I dye my eyebrows :)

  • hahaha you guys are cool :)

  • How did I get here from Marilyn Manson? Anyways I can't believe I got educated about albinism...for 14 minutes. Cool vid tho.

  • lol, thanks for hanging in there all that time.

  • not sure how i got to this video, but you two made me laugh! :)

  • My Life. Be Strong. Be You. look this up in the Search Bar and Watch.

  • Wow I LOVE your hair color. I thought my boyfriend had the blondest hair ever(people call him albino but he's not), but your hair is amazing!

  • Im Norwegian but have dark thick hair, eyes and olive skin. but im mixed race, hahaha:P Loved that bit(: Your very pretty girl(:

  • i dont get it , dont all white people look like this ?

  • @twistedtree01 omg you're stupid...

  • Great energy! Good info on an often misunderstood and stereotyped condition.

    Always fun to see others with the same pigment disposition.

    Keep up the great work guys.

  • Dude, you guys are hilarious. I have no idea how I ended up in this part of the YouTube universe, but I'm glad that I did. Thanks for sharing your story with the world. You guys are such a cute couple! :)

  • If this is going to be your husband, good luck he is off the chain funny! great video thankyou!

  • I'm surprised that I fall into the bracket of how blind people with albinism are... I'm 20/300 and I don't have albinism. But it's not a light thing... for me it's just super blurry and I've got astigmatism... I can relate to not being able to see... I correct my vision with glasses so I've never been classified as legally blind, even though I'm pretty sure I'm well past that point, hah. Great video, very informative!

  • you guys are the coolest couple ever :O

  • oh my gosh ya'll are so cute. i hope you go on to have cute albino babies :)

  • just want to say u too look so nice. And ur eyes are sooooooo nice.

  • You guys are cool! Great video :)

  • I was greatly informed by your video. I think your skin tone is beautiful, I have only seen one person with the condition in my lifetime. I feel greatly informed about the eyesight issue. And I feel fortunate to have seen this video to be familiar with the symptoms. Getting into teaching I need to be familiar with any situation that comes up with out upsetting the student or drawing unwanted attention. Thank you

  • @RealSunshine4God we appreciate the feedback. The whole reason we make these videos is to help inform people... and maybe to have a little fun along the way ;)

    I'm glad you enjoyed it.

  • you guys are awesome! :)

  • Your hair is amazing O_O

  • lol, we're not Norwegian... this guy is good fun. Welcomed to my party anytime mates!!!

  • You are both beautiful! This was a very nice video :) Thanks for sharingg!!

  • hehe thanks for sharing something i never knew! a really different world you live in. very interesting.

  • @thatgirlmaybe Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

  • two angels :) so adorable&beautiful *-*

  • I love your hair color! So beautiful!

  • "We're not Norwegian. Or Swedish." I LOL'd!

  • You two are adorable :)

  • Sooooo cute!

  • You guy's are soo cute it's unbelievable! I wish you soo much luck and love for the future!:D

  • @Sims2Cr8zy Thank you! =)

  • awww you guys so seem sweet! thanks for this video! it was really informative. i always thought this underclassman at my school was so stoic and mean cause he would always just like stare for a really long time but now i get that he wasn't doing that for like to be mean but he was just trying to figure out what he was looking at

  • @pigsbum53 haha yep! He could also just be spacing out in your direction, lol. I do that all the time. Then I realize it might look like I'm staring at someone and I stop lol. Glad it could answer some of your questions =).

  • Wow, I know people who spend top dollar to get that platinum white blonde hair color that comes naturally to you!

  • I waited a whole 14 minutes and I never got to see Ashley's pretty violet eyes :O( You guys are cute together... cool couple... and thanx for the info, I never knew all of this stuff.

  • you guys are so cute! this is really informative: I'm just curious :)

  • Oh ummm cool

  • 'We're not Norwegian'

    'No, we're not Norwegian, we're Swedish'.

    Good one!

  • so can they drive

  • @yassiebott In the United States people with low vision are able to drive under a bioptic driver's license depending on the state's requirements.

  • If the two of you have a child together, will it have albinism?

  • @FunWithJessica 1 in 4 chance

  • Is the Albino Lifespan the same as people without albinism?

  • @LostTreasureComAU Why would a lack of pigment change someone's lifespan? It's the same as anyone else, except in Africa, where people with albinism have often have no sunscreen and develop skin cancer.

  • Your boyfriend has a great smile, goodlooking bloke ... girl too!

  • Do you remember the episode on Star Trek where everyone on this planet had white hair? I loved that one and you two are beautiful.

  • I'm 90 percent Hispanic and I don't look like it at all

  • You two are so cute together!

  • I can feel you on the question "what do you see?".

    I'm color blind and I get asked that all the time.

    Its like: Duh, I didn't go color blind, so how would I be able to compare it to not being color blind.

  • your both nice and hot

  • Take A Picture Of Your Eyes(=

  • THANX FOR THE VID... ONE ? WHY DO UR EYES SHAKE. I DATED AN ALBINOKID  IN HIGHSCOOL BUT NEVER WANTED TO ASK HIM. BUT OF COURSE I NOTICED.

  • @ShannR414 They have Nystagmus, which is involuntary movement of the eye. It's one of the eye conditions associated with albinism.

  • @ariellel747 THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING THAT FOR ME. :)

  • @ShannR414 Your welcome. Just wanted to help since I have albinism.  :)

  • @ShannR414 The condition is called nystagmus, it's just part of all of the goodies that come with albinism... kind of like a happy-meal! =)

  • You guys have cool hair. Like a silvery white.

  • goin for the platinum look

  • Amazing vid! Always nice to see others with albinism! :D

  • Hey Ashley and Matt, keep up the good work!!!

    -Arielle

    :)

  • your bracelet is cool =)

  • People think I'm an albino because I have blue eyes and really light skin... It was also very prominent when I had my hair bleached. ._.

    I see what you mean, though, but I love really pale skin.

  • lol. Pure Honesty. I love this finally someone is honest.

  • I know this is weird to say, but your teeth are really good - very straight. Did you ever have braces, or is that just good genetic?

  • @6000countingdown haha Ashley did, I didn't. That's probably why hers are straighter than mine =D

  • I sent you a video response because I get a lot of people insisting that Albinism is a natural mutation that occurs within the human race, and you explained perfect, and what do you mean Matt is Hispanic?

  • @GundisalusMenendiz Both my grandparents from both sides are from mexico.

  • @Mattmontes3 Matt thanks for your reply, You guys have a wonderful personality, it's an enlightenment to watch the both of you, btw your last name is Montes I think it derives from either Portuguese or Galician instead of Spanish. but correct me if I'm wrong.

  • Comment removed

  • because you both are Caucasian it would be very easy for you guys to hide it. all you need to do is wear hair dye eyebrow dye and eyelash dye and then know one would be able to tell cuz iv seen some one do it before.

  • @Samuel115s Why are so you offended by the looks of people with albinism? You're obsessed, really, going to all these different videos and telling us to "cover up" our looks. It's people like you that make life hard for anyone with the slightest difference growing up. Maybe you'll grow up someday and realize that differences are what make people beautiful. Only immature people think everyone should be cookie-cutter look-alikes of everyone else. And anyone with decent taste knows we're pretty.

  • @itsmeChi78 im not offended by how any one looks all i was tying to do was give suggestions cuz some albinos say they get teased and people make fun of them so i was saying if they want the teasing to stop they could do them thing to hide it like how the Caucasian woman on the tyra banks show did. i dont have a problem with the appearance of anyone who cant help the way they look but their are other people who do like how that guy on the show got stabbed so thats why i was giving the suggestions

  • @Samuel115s Though I may look like it, I'm not. Ashley is, but I am 2nd generation (that is, the second generation born in the U.S.) Mexican-American

  • She's got beautiful hair and she's a looker :)

  • I have one near-sited eye and the other far-sited. I see super close or far away. It just depends on the stupid sun.

  • so i assume you guys can't drive? also... he's bangable.  coming from a guy, dose arms.

  • @omsmada They do drive. They have another video posted about it and the process.

  • You guys are great! Awesome vid.

  • Killer awesome hair! 

  • you guys are funy and are perfect for eachother dont change!

  • he's hispanic!!!!!!!!!!!

    lol one in a million

  • matt is soooo funny!!

  • Yes people, newsflash, some of us with albinism DO dye our eyebrows and/or hair. Asking "how can she be" with dark brows is like someone saying, "How can someone be black if she dyes her hair blonde?" Does that change the fact the person is black? I have albinism & dye my hair, brows and--wait for it--lashes sometime too. Funny, the lack of logic some have.

  • @itsmeChi78 That's not what they meant. They didn't know she dyed her eyebrows, which is why they asked why they were brown.

  • @fudgecake76 Well they stated it, like there was no way or that she was lying or something. Lots of people wear make-up too. It's just pretty stupid of them to assume there was no way she could have albinism and have darker brows. Lots of people use make-up and hair dye no matter their coloring.

  • @itsmeChi78 They weren't assuming anything. They didn't say "Oh she has dark eyebrows. She's not albino." I asked myself the same question. It doesn't mean that they were accusing her of lying. They just wanted an explanation as to why they were brown.

  • nice couple :)

  • you guys are so cute together !

  • wait woah, woah, woah, how can the chick be albino if her eyebrows are brown......

  • @C4RM4LcoatedRioT I dye my eyebrows :) 

  • @C4RM4LcoatedRioT Like myself, Ashley dyes her eyebrows. We can also dye our hair and wear makeup. :)

  • @ariellel747 and self tan :)

  • @HeythereApril I've never used spray tan before...

  • @ariellel747 its addicting! Spraying gets expensive but i use dark tanning lotion religiously.

  • @C4RM4LcoatedRioT it's called makeup ... great vid guys

  • @C4RM4LcoatedRioT

    Makeup?

  • i dont have albonism but you guys seem really cool!:)

  • Wait, so you guys can't see things from 1 inch away, or you guys just can't read things from 1 inch away?

  • @MirandaLovesSw We just can't read things from 1 inch away sometimes. We can see it is there, but we cannot always figure out what it says if we are too far away. I hope this answers your question!

  • I like you guys, that was very informative, I've subscribed, I look forward to seeing more.

  • Why are her eyebrows brown if she's albino?

  • @KaraGirlie girls wear makeup

  • @KaraGirlie She probably got it done or something >_> Technology these days.

  • @KaraGirlie I dye my eyebrows :) I like the way it looks! 

  • @ashleymatt720 i like the way it looks too!

  • Comment removed

  • I enjoyed the video, thanks for the info

  • you kind of remind me of steve martin

  • yesss...... Punnet Squares SUCK! had to do a 64 Punnet square

    

  • giiiiiiiirl matt's fiiine!

  • Look at that albino, to me sounds like, "look at that [racial slur here]"
