I read it, it was relatively brief. All of which the article spoke of is tied to eurocentrism, assimilation and "racism" ("in quotation" because as the article displays, it is really rooted in social and economic bias against those who produce melanin with some sort of normalcy) in standard business practices; that is the only benefit of having less to no melanin at all (or albinism), even those economic benefits are superficial because economic privilege and prestige can't surmount biological inadequacies, instead sometimes it actually makes those inadequacies more pronounced.

Just before the bend, that which the article talks about may seem beneficial, but I already see around the bend; some things cannot be justly compensated for in other means, no matter how much it is possessed in abundance.
