Have you meet an Albino?
They are the people with no melanin that's why they have fair complexion, blond hair, and have different eye color, their physical features may come out in Asian countries like the Philippines where the Filipinos are brown complexion.
If you met one? what did you think about them?
What are the questions popping into your mind when you see them?

I do live in Philippines too and I get to see a few of them. What I do know is that they have lesser life span than an average person. So what comes into my mind first when I see one of them is that: do they know they're gonna live short? What are they going to do with their short short lives? :D

Hello, I'm a Chinese Guy.I have a Albino classmate. He has pink face and all-white hair looking so different from us.Sometimes he seemed to hardly keep his eys open. However,He lives a normal life.Nobody discriminated him. I consider Albinos is a inherited disease.I heard that true albins occur in about one in 10,000 birth,after inheriting a rare and recessive albino from each parent.It's really rare.

Your observation is right because Albinos have no melann our eyelashes and eyebrows have the same color with our hair and so the light seem to goes through and cant be blocked that's why it seem that we cant open our eyes.
But being an albino is not a disease but yes it is inherited, in our family Im the second one if I'm right it comes out after every third generation.
