Do you think Albinos can experience racism?
I can’t remember a time when I’ve experienced racism. I have experienced colorism, mild bullying, and discriminations because of my Albinism but I don’t think they are on the same level as what other Black people especially Brown skin and Dark skins. I’ve realized that when many non-Black people look at me, they don’t always see me as a “true Black person” because of my condition. I’ve been told by people that they’re amazed Black people with blue eyes and white skin can identify as Black, it’s always rubbed me off the wrong way since Albimism doesn’t separate us from our ancestry, culture, or the history attached to being Black. We are very much part of the Black community. But to them I’m not “black enough“ to call myself Black because it breaks down their construct of “race” and what Black people should look like. And racists will say nasty and derogatory things about other Black people who are darker than me but wouldn’t say it to me.
