This movie was the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread title.

Actually albinos in Africa tend to suffer from eye problems horribly.

So yes.

Way to stereotype.

There’s also the [albino torturer](http://www.lolwot.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/15-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-the-princess-bride-5.jpg) (billed as “The Albino”) in _The Princess Bride._

Every time someone mentions albinos, I think of this photo (spoliered for nudity.) [link](http://www.berliner-zeitung.de/image/3309542/max/1920/1080/1616c48836ec420ea1977a721e958218/aF/rtr2ql1o-jpg.jpg)

So, um, please mention albinos more often?

They were ghosts, not albinos.

A friend and I saw the movie, and I thought this was utterly hilarious.

So we have a secret society and we need an assassin. It’s important that they blend in and don’t attract attention. Someone with a low profile who won’t be noticed.

**Ah, a giant albino monk - perfect!!!** :smack:
