      To add to the other comment, albino babies have not been treated kindly in the past

        A lot of people haven’t been treated nicely because of some gene defect. And albino doesn’t even come with any mayor disabilities.

      I know you’re joking but I’ve heard of weirder in my family, a majority of the time we pop out looking pale and pink but on rare occasions some native DNA will come to the surface and they come out tan. Hasn’t happened in a couple too many generations so I suspect the native blood has become too thin but with an ethnically mixed enough population this could happen relatively frequently.

          Native American, most of my ancestoral branches have had good relationships with the tribes we’ve encountered over the last 500 years give or take since the oldest American branch has been here. Sometimes we intermarried, hell at least one branch outright became fully integrated into the Cherokee, got some ancestors in one of their grave yards back east and have some pictures of my last ancestor born amongst them.

          Best I get out of the deal is that I tan a bit better than your average person of non-Metis Scottish diaspora.
