6 posts in this topic

Albino activists are irked because the bad guys in the new Matrix Reloaded movie are fair-skinned and unfairly stereotype pigment-challenged folks, reports MSNBC.com.

 

"Filmmakers have used albino characters as villains, and they're almost always vicious, inhuman characters, depicted as freaks," complained dermatologist Vail Reese, keeper of the skinema.com Web site.

 

Dr. Jim Haefemeyer of the National Organization for Albinism and Hypopigmentation tells Janette Walls that the group has sent letters to movie-maker Warner Bros., but that the studio has not responded.
