Genetic characteristics nothing to be afraid of

Editor,

Shame on you for publishing a picture labeled "Albino from the future" in Wednesday's Daily Lobo. Is being an albino supposed to be scary or something? You wouldn't publish a picture of someone suffering from cystic fibrosis or cancer, would you? Likewise, you wouldn't publish a picture of a Halloween costume titled "Asian from the future" or "American Indian from the future," would you?

People are born with these characteristics. None of these things make people freaks. I am saddened by your ignorance and hope you educate yourselves in the future.
