The Zuni people and other indigenous tribes of the American Southwest have a very high incidence of albinism.[33] In some Native American and South Pacific cultures, people with albinism have been traditionally revered, because they were considered heavenly beings associated with the sky.[34][35] Among various indigenous tribes in South America, albinos were able to live luxurious lives due to their divine status.[36] This special status was applied mainly to male albinos.[37] It has been theorized that the very high level of albinism among some Native American tribes can be attributed to sexual privileges given to male albinos, which allowed them to reproduce with large numbers of non-albino women in their tribes, leading to the spread of genes that are associated with albinism.[34]
btw, albinos are not white. they still retain their black or indian physical idiosyncrasies
