Albinism

[CheezDoodle]

Not to offend any albinos on here or people with albino relatives, but...

Imagine this kid waking you up in the middle of the night for a glass of water:

:scared1:

[CrazyChik]

Ok i know this is like totally mean but yes that would scare me.

[ohdisco]

that kid has abnormally large ears.

Nothing else really weirds me out.

[Babyjustrun]

Not that kid in particular.
His eyes aren't a bright shade of red.

[Hollister]

Mullet!
AHHH!

[JulielovesDisney]

Not gonna lie, that would scare me. But I'm sure I wouldn't bother me if it was my own child.

[PosessedEeyore]

It is kinda mean, but he/she could scare me
The only thing weird is the red eyes
Everything scares me in the middle of the night
It would not bother me if he/she were related to me...but...
It is kinda mean 2 be doing this

[VMK_MagicalLadee]

...

Uhm..
I dont find it scary at all.. I did a project on them.. =\

[ktbutterfly2011]

I don't even understand why that's scary. It kinda just looks like the kid has horrible red eye in the picture. And i'm sure if it was your own kid, you'd feel alot different about it.

[Tinkerbell424]

He doesn't freak me out.

[STOPxmickeytime]

I feel bad for albinos.
My mom went to elementary school with a kid who had albinism, and he could barely go into the sun.
Plus imagine how much they must get teased :/

Aww D:


That pictute doesn't scare me. D: But it does depress me.

[Ms.Squeakers]

Aww
How cute!!
*squeals*

[Disneylover 2]

Yea! It looks cute. Are those red eyes for real? Do albino people really have RED EYES?

[imabrat]

I saw an albino today at Knoebels. But their hair wasn't white, it was like macaroni and cheese yellow/orange.
Strange.

[StitchfansJr]

I don't know. I was thinking about that.. No offense but he's cute besides for the red eyes and that's not even that scary

[Pirate Me]

Yes, they do have red eyes. It's because their eyes don't have enough pigment to cover up the blood vessels in them.

[BabyPiglet]

No, he doesn't scare me at all.

[CheezDoodle]

Actually most albino people have blue or slate gray eyes. Some of them have green eyes and a few have eyes that look red in certain lights.

yep.
Its a common myth that they all have red eyes.

[KidGoofy]

I think he is cute. I have dealt with scarier looking people and/or kids.

[Sparx]

yes.
the color of your eyes is pigment.
albinos have none.
therefor the only color you see in some cases is the color of the fluid (which is red) in their eyes.

this thread seriously almost made me cry. i'm overly sensitive today, but its disgusting you guys would be afraid of that poor little kid. its not his fault he doesn't have a melanin count. grow up. seriously. this thread isn't funny or cute. its seriously disturbing if your serious, and its seriously upsetting if youre not and you think its okay to joke about this.

[chisnpeke]

I think it's sad we are making fun of a poor innocent child on an internet forum. He can't defend himself.

[DisIm]

That's mean. :( He's probably a really nice cute kid.

[CheezDoodle]

Wow, you need to not take things so seriously.

ITA.

[BabyPiglet]

You guys are making fun of a toddler...how is that funny?

[DisIm]

Wow, you need to not take things so seriously.

Well, this is a pretty sucky thread... =\

[pigletgirl]

No! He/she is a cute kid! I would hope that you all wouldn't make fun of those with disabilities. Its not cool.

[CheezDoodle]

No! He/she is a cute kid! I would hope that you all wouldn't make fun of those with disabilities. Its not cool.

Albinism is not a disablity, it's a mutation.

And I guess I just have an offensive sense of humor? Whatevs :goodvibes

[DisIm]

No! He/she is a cute kid! I would hope that you all wouldn't make fun of those with disabilities. Its not cool.

It's not a disability! He just can't reallhy be in the sun for that long. Gosh. And he doesn't look weird, either... I mean, I'm at WDW. And I see seriously weird people every day. People who are HUGE and UGLY at the same time. No offense. But it's actually sad that people do that to themselves. I mean, there's nothing wrong at all with being overweight. But alot of these people are MASSIVE and they definitely could prevent it. Not being mean. Anyway, the kid is cute and this thread should be closed IMO.

[pigletgirl]

I never said that kid had a disability. What I was trying to point out is that people shouldn't point and make fun of those who aren't 'normal'.

[Cinderelli16]

haha not to be mean or anything but I would probably wet the bed, if he woke me up lmao :lmao:

[Pirate Me]

But...seriously now; that little kid doesn't scare me. :\

Calling people "HUGE and UGLY at the same time" can't really be followed with a "no offense," because that's extremely offensive.
Then, following that by saying there's nothing wrong with being overweight but that it's basically disgusting is just contradticting yourself.

Not only was that completely unrelated to the topic, but it was way more offensive than what anyone else on here said...

[reid_man]

that doesn't scare me :I but ya are the red eyes from the camera or do they have RED EYES?!

[Hollister]

Albinism comes with pink eyes

This is getting really oout of hand... so many of you are getting more mean *cough, cough DisIm* and off topic which is getting way more offensive than others. but i think this thread should be closed really soon before it gets more out of hand
