Has anyone seen a "black person" who had WHITE skin, BLONDE, but kinky hair, with black people's features? (like bigger nose, lips). Im not even kidding but I've seen an albino black person. I was at a camp and spent like 4 days with her. I wanted to ask her but it wouldve sounded really rude. It just looked sooo odd to me. Is it like a disease for a black person to be born with such light features? or a mutation?

Albino's come in all kinds of races and nationalities.
(I am a brown person)
I used to go to camp with an albino kid. .. His skin was pink and his hair was yellow (he was of brown descent)
we used to call him Yellow Pinky. .. now before you say how mean that was. . .he told us that's what his friends called him as a nick name. My Daughter attends high school with a 'brown' girl that is albino. she is quite fair, with sandy colored hair, but it (her hair) is the texture of a brown persons hair.
They sing in chorus together, and I don't think her albino ism is as severe as "yellow pinky's" was. Funny that you should ask, yesterday I saw a Caucasian girl with a severe case when I went to the market. He hair was pure white. . .almost clear if that is possible. Her skin was quite pale with a hint of pink. She wore very dark sunglasses so I did not see her eyes, but I imagine they were pink or a very light blue or green.

I've seen a black albino and a white albino. This is an anomaly that occurs amongst all animals, snakes, people, cats, rabbits, etc~ I suggest you use the tools you have to find out information, and that would be a search engine, a book, etc.

It is a disease that any race can and does have.
The features you mention are part of being a Black person who is an Albino.
Camp opens up your world to new people and new experiences....I hope you treated the person as you would anyone else....because they are.

I was downtown several years ago and saw an Oriental albino in Chinatown.
This condition also affects animals. Albinism is a defect of melanin production.

Yes, there are albino people of African decent.
"I wanted to ask her but it wouldve sounded really rude." You are right about that, and your question is too.

Albinism is a genetic mutation.

A genetic anomaly that occurs in almost all races I believe.
