It’s interesting how similar facial structure Europeans and south Asians have. When you remove the variable of skin colour and hair colour you could see them as Asian or European.

When I was a kid, my friends and I used to see a girl with albinism near my house. We used to scream from a distance "ANGEL GIRL, WE LOVE YOU!!!!" Hahaha. She was always so amazed. She was younger than us. She used to smile and feel happy to see us from a distance. She was so cute. Not sure if she ever got bullied for her condition, hope she didn't, but she was always happy to see us around.

I've always thought albinism is beautiful. Not for it's whiteness but for it's rarity. In humans and in the animal kingdom. The changing eye color is crazy beautiful. It never made sense to me why people are afraid of it or think weird things about it. It's an amazing anomaly that also comes with many trials.

This is fairly interesting. The only thing I wish Guinness would have done is turned down the bright lights or gave them sunglasses while asking them questions. A part about albinism is light bothering the eyes due to a lack of pigment. It doesn't technically hurt them, but it is said to be very uncomfortable and you can see that they are in a few of the scenes. Other than that this neat to see.

At our church, an altar boy has albinism too. He’s Filipino and it was so unique that he spoke Tagalog, but my brain tripped for a while. It made sense to me, but my brain caught up like 20 minutes later. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Them: We are Asian, we have 'Albinism'
Director: turns ON all the lights in the room possible

Naseem has such a cool speaking voice! Like she sounds perfect to be a public speaker, or as an activist constantly talking and bringing awareness about Albinism.

You can almost feel their closeness as a family unit. The eldest daughter made it clear how much love they shared due to their albinism. What a lovely family. So sweet and kind. Very intelligent people. But their vision is impacted quite a bit by the albinism. I wonder how much it affects daily life.. In our western society we place so much worth on looks. That's wrong. It is how we treat other beings not what we look like.

[RoguePanda]

Naseem should write a book about albinism and then go on a tour to become an activist or spokes person! She is such a great speaker, has so much wisdom and could inspire so many! Even with just this video, she sure inspired me!

People from outside the UK who are confused: in the UK, "Asians" refer to South Asians, not East Asians.

This is pakistani family watching from pakistan congratulations on winning world record

Well done Guinness World Records. So many barriers this family must have faced aside from just being Albino. All still together and so humble and proud of their heritage too. 👏 If any of the family members read this well done to you all be proud ❤️

[farazfiction]

They definitely stand out from many of us .because they are happy and confident about who they are .

In high school I knew a girl who was an albino. Her eyes were two shades of red and her hair was baby soft but actually shimmered and had slight graduations of color from white to silver to pale gold and then ever so slight a peach color. Her finger tips were the purest pink as well as her lips. She was amazing. Always had to wear sunglasses even indoors and had a parisol for the outdoors due to her sun sensitivity. I sat next to her in class and talked with her as much as I could. I wish I had stayed in touch with her.

People bully because they are ignorant and lack self-confidence and take their insecurities onto others. This was amazing to watch! Yes embrace your uniqueness! 🙏🏼💕 Glad they had each other for support!

[rabiarehman]

I'm glad to see this family with albinism is more confident in their own skin and uniqueness. Wearing Pakistani outfits and receiving more praise than they could've in Pakistan 🌼

[ShannansShenanigans]

I love them because they are like my mother ❤ She is full blooded Native American and has faced the challenges of being legally blind, discrimination by tribal members and those outside of the tribe who believe (because of her skin and hair color) that she is pretending to be Native American. She's an amazing potter who is carrying on the tradition of making traditional handmade pottery like her mother, grandmother and Anasazi ancestors. I'm so grateful she has handed down that tradition to me and I'm so happy that this family had each other to turn to. 💗

[lauracarey-stafki]

Thank you for sharing and embracing your selves. We see YOU ALL and you are already amazing. It's too bad that others could not appreciate your differences appropriately.

[BMass]

This family is truly amazing. They have taken their struggles, and I’m not talking about their albinism, but the bullying they suffered at the hands of the ignorant, and created a bond with each other that cannot be broken. I think many others who have siblings wish for that bond. They also clearly are trying to teach others that they are no different. Truly beautiful inside and out.

[EverAppl]

Albinism aside, everyone in that family just has incredibly smooth beautiful skin, including the daughter who does not have albinism. Really cool and unique, special thing to have so many people in one family with the rare trait. A well-deserved acknowledgement in the GWR for sure.
