Somali albino

[Gantaal05]

am i the only one who thinks they look like white kids
these two girls are Somali from Djibouti

[Lillaahiya]

They just look cadaan

Alxamdulillah their skin looks healthy and normal for albino. The albinos i saw in xamar were literally pink with black pimples. Hopefully they stay indoors as much as they can. Djibouti sun is deadly for them.

Of course they look cadaan,it's only the melanin in our skin that makes us black.That's why anthropologists class Somalis Arabs and Indians as Caucasian
The one on the left looks the carbon copy of my little cousin back home only white

Yaan lagu waalin ina'adeer.[Modern] Anthropologists don't classify people by race, but rather ethnicity. Race is absolutely arbitrary.

The only reason it's been tethered and redefined Lucious,Is because the original idea behind that science was racist.But as purely observational phenomenon,you can't really argue with it

Race is socially constructed saaxib. There are no intrinsic or biological differences between the races. The classification of humans based on physical features only served to further political agendas and public policies, and is nothing that should be endorsed in this day and age.

No matter how soft our hair is, or how narrow our noses can be, the only thing Somalis collectively share w/ "Caucasians" is humanity and a history of colonialism.

how unfortunate for these girls, albinism is an illness, can't believe race is being discussed in this thread, how very ignorant.

You have this defensive knee jerk liberal reaction LuciousTrue there are no biological differences and I never said there was.There are though observable "Signs"Ayat.Race is not arbitrary social construct as you said.It's a designed miraculous concept which people tend to bog down with their own political agenda due to whatever time they're living in.And in this time the dominant western philosophy and it's baggage is what driving your objection.But I assure you I'm not saying yacni I'm better than another human being simply because of the bone structure of my face believe me

O humankind! Surely We have created you from a single (pair of) male and female, and made you into tribes and families so that you may know one another (and so build mutuality and co-operative relationships, not so that you may take pride in your differences of race or social rank, or breed enmities). Surely the noblest, most honorable of you in God's sight is the one best in piety, righteousness, and reverence for God. Surely God is All-Knowing, All-Aware.

It is very arbitrary. Who constructs these races? Who decides what group belongs to which race? What's the purpose of classifying people based on physical features if it's not to exaggerate difference between groups? The concept of race is inherently political, and to assert that the construction of race serves some sort of altruistic purpose is a lie.

I only used their science as an example in my first post Luce.My world view is totally different to their outlook on the subject
But race iis a phenomenon that existed before their system and will exist to the end of time.So markaa was it arbitrary in that sense
