Albinism Awareness Day

 When one is looking at a group of tigers and a white tiger appears, one might think.....

"Wow!! How magnificent!!"



When one is looking at a flock of pigeons and one spots a white pigeon, one might think....

"Isn't it so beautiful?"



When one is in the middle of a bunch of people and one spots someone with albinism, one might think....

"Oh, they have a case of albinism"

Perhaps the tiger, pigeon & person going through albinism wish to be seen in the same gaze as its peers would be seen in...The way we look at and treat the exact same phenomenon differently across different species/situations/seniority/societal class is how complex we humans are...

Btw, June 13 is celebrated as International Albinism Awareness Day, something that I am sure most of us weren't aware of. I just found out too.
