People living with albinism face a lot of challenges with discrimination being the major one.

Albinism: an inherited genetic condition that reduces the amount of melanin pigment formed in the skin, hair and/or eyes. Albinism occurs in all racial and ethnic groups throughout the world. In the U.S., approximately one in 18,000 to 20,000 people has some type of albinism. In other parts of the world, the occurrence can be as high as one in 3,000. Most children with albinism are born to parents who have normal hair and eye color for their ethnic backgrounds.

The last girl I dated when it got time to see her people she refused that she cannot because of obvious reasons.. of how I look so why would one believe someone praying for you.
