One thing I will never understand is the fact that this picture is considered beautiful and/or breathtaking because of the color of his eyes, when in fact, this is caused by Ocular Albinism or Nettleship-Falls albinism. It’s a disease. What shocks me is that ailments like these (blue eyes on a black child) is considered attractive, just because they are unusual, and mostly because they are WHITE features. We need to understand that this boy, and many others like him need not carry these genes to be considered unique or extraordinary. They are beautiful without those peircing blue eyes, and with their normal dark brown eyes. Stop brainwashing these children into thinking that they need WHITE features to be considered beautiful. What kind of sick, backward thinking is that?
