"Phi is an albino. Like Shu."
"So is Hearts. You know, cuz white hair."
Hello Beyblade Burst fandom. It appears we have some uneducated fans!
I said this before, but I will indeed say this again: WHY DO PEOPLE ASSUME WHITE HAIR EQUALS ALBINO?
But like, that's not how it works. The only example of a true albino in the series is Shu. Because, well:
* Snow white hair
* Lack of melanin in eyes, which often result in red eyes in albino beings
* Pale skin
Just because someone has white hair doesn't mean they're albino. If so, that would make your grandparents albino. It should be noted that being albino is something you are born with, not acquire in life.
Also, PHI AND HEARTS CANNOT BE ALBINOS. Phi may have white hair and pale skin, but his eyes are of two colors (which contrast the lack of color eyes have, though it is possible that he may be albino). No, his one red eye does not count. Hearts is also off the list because, if one look closely, his hair has a purplish shade to it, though many see it as white. Not to mention, it as been left extremely vague whether these two guys are even humans or Earthlings at all. What they are may not even have albinos, or leave them capable as being one.
Also, why the fuck do I see albino OCs running around? Are they trying to match Shu in terms of aesthetics or something? Though this is not exclusive to the Beyblade Burst fandom, do you fans even realize that being an albino is hard? Obviously, there are no mentions of Shu's health because Beyblades are more important, and he's the fangirl character so the logic people don't want to make him seem sickly or suffering.
PLEASE, THINK ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES OF BEING AN ALBINO. They look cool, but they come with all sorts of health complications. Please, don't make your albino Blader girl have fun in the sun in the bikini. They need extra protection in the sun because they get sunburned easily! Also, albinos cannot handle looking at bright light. They also come with mental problems, which is why white lab rats are often tested on to see how they react. Your OC may be retarded to an extent or something. Not to mention, albinos have a chance to be deaf more often than people born with melanin.
Albinos are tuff, guys. Tuff stuff. Learn what they are before trying to be a smartass and think they look cool.
