White Negros - South Africa

Back


March 2006
Even today, albinos in South Africa face widespread prejudice and discrimination. Rejected by both the black and white communities, they struggle to find their place in society.

"Some women spit when they see me. They think albinism is contagious and that will stop them catching it", confides albino Ntswaki. Both her parents are black but because of her white skin her father rejected her at birth. "I feel I am in strange place -- not white enough, not black enough."

they are gorgeous!i think albinism is the most beautiful and interesting conditon, although :
-i totally understand how serious that genetical disease is(As far as I know the main problem lays in the lack of enzymes that are responsible in catalyzing the synthesis of melanin)
- i can imagine how the convoying problems interfere with their life.
- and i'm baffled why people make it so hard just to ACCEPT and SEE the beauty/in just about everything.
