Favorite Minority Characters?

[Iceshadow]

Ummm, you do realize there are more than just the pink eye variant of albino, right?

I thought they were just poseurs.

Secondly, I was being a smartass.

I figured, but I couldn't stop nerding out for a second there. I'm back in control now though.

Thirdly, if it hasn't been retconned yet, the Frost girls have brown hair.

I haven't read anything contradicting that.

Also, who's the egg?

Agreed.

The new Egg Fu tries to keep his dignity and is cool for it.

The original does not care for that **** and is awesome for it.

Hell, the whole of Oolong Island was a double win.

Shame they couldn't keep that momentum. The follow-up in Checkmate was heart-breakingly insufficient.

 

[ProjectX2]

Yeah, you should definitely check out 52. DC's weekly series that took place during the missing year and has Grant Morrison, Geoff Johns, Greg Rucka and Mark Waid writing and revamping a bunch of characters hardly anybody cared about. You will probably like it.

[thee great one]

You should really pick up the 52 trades.

They all have pink eyes.

Some of them don't have the pale skin though,

I never bothered with 52 because I just don't know DCU well enough to enjoy it. Or so I thought. I also didn't read Infinite Crisis - don't you have to read that first?

 

[Ultimate Houde]

Save yourself the headache and don't.

All you need to know from Infinite Crisis is that a new Earth was born.

And Superboy died.

Infinite Crisis wasn't as bad as Houde would like you to think, wasn't the greatest, but it was a fun read.

52 on the other hand was an excellent read. You don't really need to know anything about the Dibneys/Steel/Batwoman/Montoya/etc because that's the whole point of the stories, is to introduce the characters to the modern audiences.

Classification
There are two main categories of albinism in humans:

In oculocutaneous albinism (despite its Latin-derived name meaning "eye-and-skin" albinism), pigment is lacking in the eyes, skin and hair. (The equivalent mutation in non-humans also results in lack of melanin in the fur, scales or feathers.) People with oculocutaneous albinism can have anywhere from no pigment at all to almost-normal levels.

In ocular albinism, only the eyes lack pigment. People who have ocular albinism have generally normal skin and hair color, and many even have a normal eye appearance.

Other conditions include albinism as part of their presentation. These include Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, Chediak-Higashi syndrome, Griscelli syndrome, Waardenburg syndrome, and Tietz syndrome. These conditions are sometimes classified with albinism. Several have sub-types. Some are easily distinguished by appearance, but in most cases genetic testing is the only way to be certain.

There's a blue eyed Chinese Albino model as well.

I really don't care.
