No, they are not albino. They have a rare recessive gene.

White tigers are basically just "blonde". Albinos lack color pigment and have pink eyes.

They are not really albino, but you may consider it as a rare fur colour as it is caused by mating of relatives.

They are not albino because they still have some pigmentation. An albino tiger would not have any stripes.

no, they're not albino, it's just a trait developed through evolution (from living in snow).
The way to tell a TRUE albino is that they will have red/pink eyes.
