The first time I saw someone with albinism in Africa was in 1988 in a workman’s bar in Kwekwe, a pretty laidback city equidistant from Harare and Bulawayo in Zimbabwe.
lots of information I didn't previously have, thank you!
I was recently reminded of african albinism in Paris -- there was a young guy chatting lively and happily on the Métro, who didn't at all seem discouraged or disadvantaged (although of course appearances can be misleading...). In contrast, I remember a village on the Caribbean island of Dominica, which seemed to be majority albino. When I saw them, around 20 years ago, folks seemed to be in a ghastly state, with very poor health.
