Are there any Albino NSers, other than me?

Surely you'd prefer to associate on a basis other than appearance?

How can you not be a noticable albino? Its the most severe of skin conditions, and has caused me too be a social outcast.

Well, you're welcome here. We can't see you, our spys haven't gotten that far.

Some Albinos are more noticeable than others. Are you of the red-eyed variety? Theres an Albino at my school, but his eyes are unaffected, he just looks like a really white guy with even whiter hair.

well i was thinking in my mind maybe an albino person could be less...white or something? I don't know.

I think it was powder or something..The guy was albino, and had special powers.

I have icy white hair, and since I was too stupid too wear sunscreen all my life, my skin is covered in pink streaks. And yes, my eyes are red. The dfinition is someone with lack of pigment in hair, skin and eyes. You can be REALLY white, have blond hair and blue eyes, and not be albino.

Oy, this thread is bad for my morale. It remids me of the albanism genetics questions I was practicing yesterday, how none of them were on the midterm I wrote today, how questions that I didn't practice were, and how I thus must have accrued a positively embarrasing grade. phooey.

yes, use the special powers. instil fear in your fellow man/woman/either. make them fear their prejudices and respect your interestingness. see, i'd love to have done this but the only thing people fear about gingers is their temper, and i was always small, weak and meek at school so that never worked. albinos are always the slightly dangerous and ever so mysterious ones. and you have a superpower too. you have the advantage.

I don't know. I know I'm pale like one and I burn like one, but I've never been told by anyone I'm an albino.

But I wouldn't worry about it. Me, I think albinos are cool. Think about it: white skin, red eyes, you're awesome!

I have a picture of an albino gooney bird from Midway...

It looks really cool, but it's albinism probably blinded it...

people actually care about it? that's rediculous - the only thing I've ever heard as far as a stigma attatched to albinism was that native americans thought albino animals were highly blessed...it's really stupid that other people would give you a hard time about that. I always thought having white hair would be cool.

Uh, that's the opposite of a stigma.

Right you are. Believe me, white hair is no fun. Either are red eyes and being mistaken for a ghost. Unless your emo, then youd like it. =P Anways, there are alot of reasons for beinga social outcast. I myself, an a complete dork, therefore socially inactive. If that makes ya feel better.

Why are you a social outcast? Because you have to stay indoors? That's become the trend among young people lately. :p

I wouldn't imagine so, as the vast majority of the ones I've met seem to be focused on staying dead.

Sorry for the corrections; I can't help myself sometimes.

Well that would be laziness instead of being an outcast. ;)

No reason to be one though! Most people don't really care what you look like. May get a few glances but only stupid kids would really have any issue.

Oh! This thread made me think of a movie. :)

I think albinism looks cool. Especially the eyes. Maybe that's just me.

I know OF one, but we were in different social circles in college. Seemed like an okay guy. Hung around with others. Watched Quantum Leap in the student union building. Never climbed a clock tower with a high powered rifle.

I don't see what the big deal is. :p
