"Whereas the majority of whites with albinism have pale blond or white hair, pink white skin, and blue eyes, black persons with albinism tend to have hair of a deeper, brighter yellow, cream-colored skin, and green or hazel eyes. (These) attributes in darker races are taboo. Individuals in these races often are ostracized because of erroneous beliefs and unfounded fears.
