Albino Facebook page
The representation of albinos throughout the media and press mainly shows the positive image of albinos. The Facebook page about albinism was not an exception. Throughout the whole page, there are a hundreds of posts, which mention the albinos' career as a very successful actor or a glamour model in a popular firm.
As an example, Thando Hopa, was chosen to represent a famous firm "Vichy". Furthermore, she is now a face of "Vichy Sun-care Creams".
As it is clearly seen, albino models are effectively hired by big companies, such as "Vichy" to
advertise goods. In case of, Thando Hopa, it is very unusual but highly efficient and effective way of marketing a suncare cream, as there is clear "link" between an albino girl and a suncare cream.
The optimistic representation of albinos in media, especially on posters (such as above), describes a positive opinions and views of society. In other words, people started to accept albinos into society, and not treat them differently. Furthermore, people are very interested in the topic of albinos and that is what makes albinos unique and special. Facebook albino page, for example, has a lot of subscribers, which shows people actually care or even like albinos. Here is one comment, I found on Facebook page:
Hannah Howell Adkison: Im not offended by questions or comments. People are naturally curious and it makes my child feel special that so many people are interested in her. Like anything in life... it is what you make of it! Her eye Dr. is also albino and he explained it this way... " I had to overcome bad vision problems that other kids didn't but most other kids were not as smart as me so they had to overcome that"
Already mentioned in my previous posts, Sir Maejor, an albino model, appeared in the episode of "Constantine". This suggests, that albinos are essential in movie-making businesses or even series. As people live and contribute in the society, Sir Maejor is going to be seen as a very good actor by others. In other words, he formed a very affirmative representation of all albinos.
The albino Facebook page is a good example of already formed positive representation of albinos. I encourage everyone to look at it and form their own opinion about albinos.
