-Albinism (from Latin albus, meaning "white") is a lack of pigmentation in the eyes, skin and hair. It is an inherited condition resulting from the combination of recessive alleles passed from both parents of an individual. This condition is known to affect mammals, fish, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. While the most common term for an individual affected by albinism is "albino", some of them prefer "person with albinism", because "albino" is often used in a derogatory way. A humorous compensation for this was the invention of the word "pigmento" for a normally pigmented person.\n\nIf you are asking how they act, its exactly the same as a normal person.  Anyway here is some more info.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albinism

Well, let`s see. My mom is hispanic and has hazel eyes and very black hair with medium skin. My dad is anglo and has black hair and green eyes and medium skin. My sister has brown eyes and black hair with a little darker skin, my brother brown hair and green eyes with medium skin, and I have grey eyes and reddish brown hair with medium skin. My mom`s sister is darker than her and all her kids turned out darker than us with black hair and brown eyes. Her husband was anglo also with brown hair and blue eyes. So what you get is a luck of the draw.

I don't understand it.  Why would people think anyone is different because of the color of their skin?  If you're white and you get a tan, does that change your personality?  No!  So why would being a different skin color mean anything?  Unfortunately I think there will always be racists...makes me sad.

I don't think think Lala is being stereotypical, Pimpslapper.  A lot of Latino men DO stare, and I think it's built into the culture to do that to women.  Seems like it's the Central Americans who stare the most.  Anyway, Lala, being Asian, you may have noticed that some hispanics appear Asian, themselves, due to their heritage, and maybe they think you may have some hispanic blood in you, and they're trying to figure it out.  When I look in the mirror, I see a black person, but many staring Indians have thought I was of Indian descent and were a little irritated that I couldn't speak Farci, Hindu, or another of their many languages.  Lots of staring people in the Dominican Republic were shocked that I couldn't speak Spanish. I've caught myself staring at people who probably think they're white, and I wondered which grand (or great-grand)parent was black.  So much intermingling of races nowadays produces cool results, making people look longer than intended. Next time just ask kindly, "May I help you?" (That's how I find out I simply look like somebody's family member or somthing)  Wow!  Didn't mean to write a book!

YIKES, too much.  I wish I could post this picture of a friend of mine that's orange but I would be afraid she might see it and kick my butt.  It's scary!  Her white eyes are so bright and her skin is dark orange/brown.

Hi: First I want to thank you for asking this question. To me, it is ovious that some white people have treated you and your relatives/friends in an awful way. I am white. My friend Barbara was a wonderful person. She tried to help me and be there for me as much as she could. It was crazy because I remember this time that we went to the park for a walk. She said you should see the people giving us looks. It wasn't just white people. Unfortunately though she passed away. I miss her very much. She was black. To me she was a beautiful friend, caring person, and the best listener that I have ever known. I am sorry that people have treated you badly. ("WHITE") people have treated you bad. I love all people not like I am a psycho person or whatever to me people are truly wonderful. We all have unique qualities that make us individuals. Why can't we just be there for each other and stop focusing on a race thing?

We are social butterflies, have an interest in a great deal of things, we are creative in many ways, we love attention, and know how to get it, passionate in matters of the heart, and have a bit of a temper if crossed. Gemini's are fun loving people, and take delight in new things. I am a Gemini, and know no strangers, they are just friends that I haven't met yet. Hugs :)

I guess I'd prefer a dark skinned man to an albino white skinned man... But I like the noses of an albino white skinned man usually better then the nose of a dark skinned man.\n\nLike Michael Jackson... Looked much cuter in the dark skin... just change the nose slightly but not to the extent that it falls off. ;)

About 1 in 17,000 people have some type of albinism.  Some areas (like New Guinea) seem to have local populations with unusually high rates of albinism, but if your question is about the overall occurence rate, this number should work.

Do you mean vary on the one person depending on how they feel? ie going green with illness, red with sunburn etc?\n\nOr do you mean vary between individuals, ie Africans tend to have darker skin than Europeans?

You speak of them as if they're another species. Yes, I've seen a PERSON of mixed Asian and black heritage. What's your point?

My son is biracial... I'm Italian, and his father is black.\n\nAs far as the issues we had as an interracial couple, we didn't really have any... our roommates were another interracial couple (black girl, white guy) and we found that when we'd go out together, people would automatically pair us up according to race.. we kept having to correct people! But once we corrected them, people were kind and not judgmental in the slightest.\n\nWhen I got pregnant, my straight-from-Italy grandparents were concerned at first because they thought our child would encounter a lot of prejudice, but once they saw that American culture has become more open-minded about interracial couples and children, they were pleased and excited (and everyone agrees that my son is absolutely adorable)\n\nI do run into the occasional (typically older) person that gives me odd, sidelong looks when I'm out with my son, but on the whole, I haven't encountered much weirdness... and this is Minnesota, home of the bland and mostly Caucasian!

I am a natural redhead, my Grandmother on my Fathers side was a redhead, my Grandfather and uncle on my Mom's side were also redheads.  I am the only redhead left in the family and the only one born on both sides of the family since my Uncle Bobby.  I, like you, didn't like being a redhead when I was a kid, but once I hit puberty, it was all fun.  The guys liked it, I was easily spotted in a crowd, everyone knew who I was and am, I made friends easily, and I grew to like my star status.  I even grew to like the freckles too, my Granny always said each freckle was a kiss from God and I always said "why did He have to kiss me so much Granny?".  But now, you couldn't have any of them.  They set me apart from everyone else and I know a few facts about redheads.  Only 1 in 100 children born are natural redheads.  Redheads tend not to get gray, but they can go lighter and lighter and blond up or go white, but usually not gray.  Redheads tend to be very bright, inquisitive and easily amused.  Rarely lacking for friends or social engagements.  Is that cause we are lucky?  Or because you can't miss us?  We may be tormented as children, but as adults we get along just fine.  The talk of redheads being meaner, more viscious, is well, just plain talk from what I have seen, so whatever!  Hope you get a basketfull of redheads and enjoys every minute of them!  Good luck!

HEY YOU PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST SPECULATING, READ FROM A MIXED CHILD. jeeze.\n\nI'm a mixed child I feel it ecause my classmates are idiots.  At recess they have soccer teams, black vs. white.  They always make fun of me, the white people and the black people. (although on my birth certificate says black) I always get dirty looks when I walk in a white salon to get my hair done, and they don't know black hair, or don't like me so they hurt me, burn me, pull on knots so hard the comb breaks.  I have found spit in my food and people will ignore me and my parents when we go to restaurants some times, and I live in chi-town!\n\nIt has NOTHING to do with be accepted by a race, because darn it I'm GREY, and that's it.  Mental torture, no.  Really it's peer preasure, someone said that I believe, people are ignorant, and don't relaize how stupid they are.\n\nAnd I know dam well what racism is.  These answers are almost ticking me off, pure speculation, they make it seem like I'm too stupid to know what's going on!
