This is so interesting. I grew up in a Black community with a girl who had albanism. She was like this lady in that she has the full nose, lips, and afro hair. As kids, we saw our friend as a Black girl who a genetic blip that messed with her pigment. She was actually very popular because she was cheerful with good energy. Now she's a lawyer and singer. I'm glad she was accepted by most of us, especially after watching this.

You also can’t get upset with either side of your races because they don’t see you as 100% black or white. Unfortunately being mixed comes with privilege in the Black community because of fair skin and looser curl patterns with hair. But discrimination in the white community for not being pure blood. Hopefully you can find peace with being mixed.

Thus, embracing one’s uniqueness makes them stunningly beautiful. 💪 Own your bodies and embrace your features. Only this way you will win your confidence and happiness. And let’s not forget. You don’t have to have albinism to be unique. Every single human has different unique features and can get bullied for it… unless they embrace it and owning it is very attractive. 👍

Incredibly moving. I am not an individual with Vitiligo or Albinism, but I think this short brings up an important topic with the black community. There is no right way to express your blackness, no “correct way to be black”. We each have vastly different experiences and backgrounds unique to our own experience. I am a tri-racial black passing person and I always struggled with the idea of “not being black enough” or not fitting in. In that way, I can relate to Rue’s story, and I continually have to remind myself that there is no right way to be black, no manual or book. It’s all about your own unique experiences. Thank you, Omeleto for such a beautiful story!

I'm biracial and very light skinned that I almost appear as white when people can't get a good look at me. I can't say our experiences are the exact same but I can definitely relate to some of the things she has gone through. I have the same/similar thoughts, "what are you? White Hispanic black?" "Freak" "Her nose is wide for a white girl""Ms. Piggy" my ex thought my brother was a man I'm cheating on him with. I wake up to my roomates arguing whether I'm a black girl or white girl. Now I do know that I definitely have white privilege which she does not, because I'm half white and I have European genes, even though we don't have the same biology I know that as a biracial person I can relate to her and I appreciate that this popped up on my fyp.

In a herd of mustangs, the palomino, the white horse or the pinto is the one that everyone wants. In a flock of gray pigeons the white or spotted one is the beautiful one. Some of us feel the same way about people. People look longer when someone is beautiful, or just unique. Being unique is a great way to get attention. If someone's face was badly scarred by a fire, we would look away.

All I can say with so much knowledge in the world, how, how can people be so ignorant? She is beautiful, she has a skin condition that has nothing to do with her beauty. Love and blessings to you and all those with albinism.❤️🙏🏽

I did not ask to be crying at 7 a.m. ma'am. Thank you for sharing your journey, views, story, and perspective! I feel like as African Americans, we avoid these conversations, I was made fun of for just being Scottish, as a black woman, being called white. I'm not even pale. But Scottish meant "white" to them. It's weird having a bunch of black kids call you white, and that happened just based off of my name. I can't imagine walking around with that emotional pain daily as an adult. We all find strength, you found yours, and not empower others. Ase.

My grandpa was full blooded Choctaw and had vitiligo.... I used to spend hours in his lap as a little girl tracing all of his beautiful lines and finding all sorts of shapes, animals, and other things that my eyes saw as his body's way of saying, "YES I AM THE CHIEF OF OUR CLAN" He used to tell stories about his mother ( the medicine woman of their tribe) telling him that each area that had lost it's pigment was the spirit of their ancestors walking with him and in him. He wore his skin as proudly as he wore his headdress, he bridged the gaps between "the white man" and Native Americans as he traveled the world as the Diplomatic embassador for the Lions Club! I was raised without "colors" being how I saw humans, I was raised to see the spirit of the soul, to look beyond and trust in the character of a human..... I was raised to believe beauty is from within, and to measure everyone I encountered by the site of our ancestors.... I've walked with spirits, danced under full moons in my deer skin dress.... I was raised and thus raised my own sons this way....... We ALL BLEED THE SAME, CRY THE SAME, SMILE, HURT, AND LOVE THE SAME!!!! THE BEST PART.... I WAS ADOPTED AND YET, I WAS ACCEPTED AND TREATED AS PART OF THE TRIBE, TRAINED TO TAKE MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER'S PLACE IN OUR TRIBE, I WAS TAUGHT THE NATIVE LANGUAGE, I WAS LOVED BEYOND MEASURE! I found out at the age of 16... about my mother marrying the man who helped raise me and adopt me at age 3! I'm eternally grateful for those blessed years with my grandparents and my time on the reservation!! All my blessings to everyone, may you find your own inner peace, joy, love and acceptance no matter what!!!

As a daughter of mixed race parents (hispanic/latin, german, & others) who appears fully latina, this story hit home for me. Here's my impromptu poem that doesn't rhyme. I don't claim to have suffered the same as any other person of color, but I have suffered, and still don't fit in anywhere. I'm a mestizo. The white kids called me racist names & threw gum in my curly hair; the hispanic kids called me coconut & excluded me from their cultural events; and all of them teased about my eyeglasses & maiden name. I wasn't white enough, brown enough, nor rich or poor enough to be accepted in any social group. I had a few friends through my school years, with some of them using & discarding me. To this day, I am afraid of getting too close with my current friends whom I keep at arm's length. To this day, I question whether a nice person likes me or pities me. Some official documents still don't give an option for a mixed race identification. I have to choose 'white', knowing that there is no group for me. Over the decades, I've learned to love being multiracial, to welcome the cold emptiness of knowing I'm being excluded, and to find peace in this familiar solitude. However, I still hate myself for continuing to fail to fit in somewhere out there in the social world. Thanks be to God, I somehow met my spouse who, after our long talks, sharing of hearts & sorrows, also cried with me. I was finally seen, accepted, and loved unconditionally by someone; this one magnificent person. One person is enough. I "fit in" with my one person.

I'm sure you are literally beautiful. Being mixed myself, we come in varied looks ... intriguing exotic beauty. Pleeeeease stop thinking you are obliged to give two hoots about the thought patterns of ignorant unknowledgable people who wouldn't even care anyways if you look like them. Such is humanity to find flaws no matter what. And not look within themselves to realise they are the one in the wrong. I'm from Jamaica, and its almost the opposite here. Being mixed is a huge part of the society. This is a country of majority black, but many who look full black have non black ancestors. In fact, it's the non straight black who have it better in society. It's so unfair what society does to people, to think people are basically not human because the don't look exactly like them when its a tiny fraction of our DNA that makes the differences in the races. Everything else is exactly the same across humanity. I love and embrace being a blend of black, white, indian and Portuguese, and probably even more. Indian is the least in me, but that is what I apparently look like to the majority of our society here. In the US, hispanics think I'm hispanic. I actually find it amusing, all my life, that people are confused. I care nothing for people not being able to figure what race i am. It is the stupidest thing for the next person to be "confused" over what race a person is. In fact i love to see the confusion. I find my mixed background to be so intriguing and layered. I love discovering even more mixture, even more about my ancestors. I feel the reality of our motto "out of many, one people". I am a literal example of it. So are you. I don't need to "identify" as one race. My identity is HUMAN. FULL STOP. Tough luck for the person who is confused because they can't pin me completely to one race. So my dear, discard of those self distructive feelings you have. There are countless people who would be so happy to have you as a friend simply if you have a kind heart, not because of your racial mixture. Society isn't worth comparing your worth to. You have your husband who loves you. And if you're his heart and soul... you have the world. It's horrible miserable people who treat people like garbage because they feel like garbage themselves.

Me actually crying at that beautifully written & delivered poem ❤️ truly a work of art.

I cried at her poem and the ending. This is powerful impactful and beautifully written. Thank you so much for putting this out there ❤️

This reminds me of this girl I went to middle school with, her name was Jade. People used to bully her and call her a white girl so much (side note: nothing wrong with being a white girl but as a black girl with albinism, I can understand how that can be upsetting to a pre teen trying to find her identity). I remember her crying in the back of the classroom often. I tried to be her friend and comfort her when she would cry but I think that the bullying made her really distrustful of others, understandably so, and she would brush me off. I hope she was able to find peace with herself over the years.

It's so rude! Like stop it. People can tell what you are thinking just by you staring at them. I too have unique features and people always wondered "what" I was growing up. My peers would call me the "Chinese girl" because of my slanty eyes and high cheek bones which comes from native America mother who has the same features but me and my sisters seemed to have them more than our mom and it made us stand out. Some of the bullying was so bad I wished I was a white person with "normal" features ( back then I thought everyone had normal features but me) and on top of that I had a step dad who was racist as hell. Always told me I was ugly n beat me etc. I had people tell me I was "exotic" and one guy even told me that's why he liked me because I looked exotic. Now I embrace my features and am proud of who I am as I see people pay for some of the features I naturally have and use make up to get the affect of high cheek bones. I no longer wish I was another race. I love myself more than ever now.

I did too. This is terrible no one deserves to feel like that I felt terrible for her

This was so powerful.People are people and many are just awful.Her father crying about her pain was beyond sad.Rue was not responsible for her birth.None of us are.Besides it is the life we live beyond our births that means the most.We are who we are.The ending was unexpected,but now he will not hide his truth.Good for them and everyone that is "different."

This was so amazing, beautifully filmed, and what a powerful message. Inspiring!😃
