“You are different from us.” From school to job interviews, Ambanee Garg was singled out for her albinism at every stage. But she continues to live with her head held high. Her RU-vid channel: / @dietitianambaneegarg448
Westerners brag in, telling us what should we do in our country. You know nothing about life here! Stop imposing your twisted ideologies on others! /sarcasm
But they are looking for indian types of fairness. People who use fairness creams are trying not this white. Too much white is considered as ugly in india. They are trying to look for indian type of fair skin colour. Indian fair skin is considered attractive by indians than Western white skin. There is a difference between indian fair skin and western fair skin.
I am convinced that in Europe no one would notice that you are not European, but many people would compliment you on your excellent knowledge of Indian languages and ask you where you studied Indology or grew up as a diplomat's child.
I think this reveals a lot about human genetics and how the different races came to be. She literaly looks like a white woman. There is something we are not seeing in terms of how human skin evolved and that we all come from one commons anscestor.
Although I condemn discriminating against Albinos, it also comes down to the dark colonial past that we went through. So it'a not right to compare it to Europeans who've always been on the receiving end of the spectrum.
@@xlr8_bs514"Always" is not true. It is also only true in some form from the ages of colonialism on because there were whide spread cultural contacts in Antiquity within the known world among all kinds of races, tribes, countries and people in general but they never went after each other because of skin colour when it came to conflict. Ask Spanish and Portuguese people how they get treated in the US, for example. There, they are considered Latinos and not white and are therefore considered to be lower than white people, while in Europe literally no one would say that Spanish and Portuguese people are not white and not treat them different than a Dane or a Polish person. We would say that they are Southeners but never call them not white. That is why I find the colour shit literally so dumb. I mean, they are Europeans and for Europeans other European countries native population is white. The discrimation works different here (of course also being shitty but different shitty!). Ask the Jewish people or Sinti/Roma people how they got treated through the ages, for example. Don't forget that the worst thing ever done to other people in the history of the world appart from slavery, was the Holocaust/Shoa, where white people (Germans plus the never counted Austrians) went mostly against Jewish people which are considered white too. It was not about white, black, brown it was about their crazy race theory with so called blonde Aryans being the master race and everyone else just the bottom. Hitler was not a fan of Slavic people either and they are white too. So no, whites were/are not always on the recieving end. Quite a lot of them have it hard too. The British are for example very unhappy about all the people from Eastern Europe that moved there in the last century. That was a reason the Brexit happened. People just love to discriminate other people. It is sad.

It’s so ridiculous how you can face discrimination just solely based on being different than those around you. The sheer amount of close minded people is insane!
ahem. what's your view of trump voters, christians, atheists, pro lifers, anti ukraine, etc, etc. people who love espousing tolerance are usually the least tolerant people. tolerant people understand that overcoming bias is very hard due to how much of it is ingrained since childhood.
We are all just slightly more evolved chimpanzees that are carried through life mostly by our fear of death and drive to procreate. We are limited by our brains, which have the need to sort everything into neat little boxes. Each one of us is discriminatory whether we like it or not. The best thing we can do is acknowledge this fact and try to be vigilant of it. Try to give people the benefit of the doubt when your instinct tells you to have preconceptions, and try to open your heart to them. Trying to persuade yourself and others that you're pure, good and don't have an drop of racism inside of you is stupid and counterproductive. Only when we acknowledge our limitations, can we work around them.
@@cagneybillingsley2165what's wrong with atheists. I am atheist and I respect religions, but I don't respect people who are disrespectful to lgbt or others.
@@cagneybillingsley2165 It's called the "intolerance paradox." In order to have a tolerant society, you can't tolerate intolerance. You can't have an equal, free society if you tolerate the behavior of bigots.
She is a beauty. If I was a man, I would marry her. Sad that they had her marry another albino. The recessive gene will become stronger. I have albino in my genes, but not strong. I also love red and auburn haired people. There was discrimination against red heads in Europe also. Dark skin people complain of discrimination, but are the most prejudice towards albinos. Look at Africa, it is pure hate for white skin. And they can have normal children. And are most of the albinos beautiful and above average IQ. There was a talk show host in the 1980s in USA that was albino. Very intelligent and decent man. I also have red heads in my ancestry as I have freckles. Black there also, Indian and Asian. But I am mostly Urian. I look more Indian than this girl in video. I am not saying she is not Indian, she came out looking totally white. As a black and white parents sometimes bring a totally white looking child. But black gene is dominant and most black white mixes bring a black looking child, even if the skin is white. Wavey or curly haired Indian are almost always mixes with Arab or Africans. I like Dutchess Fergie and she looks like her a little. She dis not come out looking Indian at all.
@ha haha you said exactly what I did. 1: dark skin hate white people and is reason for hate against albinos 2: blacks are africans and whites are europeans. everything else is mixed with other races.

Being dusky, people consider me as dark and I faced lot of insults especially from relatives.. being dusky, being dark,being white, being skinny, being fat..everything makes people to feel insecure..the problem is not with us..the society is weird 😐
Even if you are good looking that's also a problem... Sometimes! It's just giving too much importance, time, and energy to physical appearances... Just Bullshit
If she didn't tell me she is Indian I have probably mistaken her as German or somewhere from Nordic. I noticed a lot of Indian albinoes just really look like European. Maybe because they have similar bone structure or something, so when you take off the melanin from Indian, they end up looking like just "white" people lol.
@@gawd4582 lol indians themselves don't know how diverse their country is. Just like in USA, where Indian-Americans think every Indian living in USA speaks Gujrati.
She is my younger sister, and she is a very brave and hardworking girl but still she was not rewarded enough during her school days she used to study more then any of us (siblings ) still have to struggle a lot. Felt very helpless when I was not able to help her specially her skin and heat issues but I m very happy and feels lucky to have a sister so strong and determined love u my sister hope u get everything what's best for u ❤️❤️
She is, but the concept to get married with the person having same disease may reduce one of the thousand problem but it's a mental perception and not facts.
We indians refer someone with white skin as "foreigner" A person from north east as "Chinese" And then we say we are not racist Edit: for those of you who got offended I said that because people literally say that...and also I removed that...so don't be offended so quickly...
In my school.. There were twin girls both with this disorder.. But lemme tell u.. D students n all d teachers were sooo sooo supportive n loving.. They were one of d most famous in d school.. Took part in every competitions in school.. N had a huge friend circle in school too..they were even appointed as class presidents in their class... When people r good n educated.. U dont actually face such problems however u r
@@neverlandatinyforeveer3414 that is the right and normal thing to be happening! I'm glad that the environment of your school was healthy for the twins!
@@apekshalashiyal9900 100%.Some teachers rarely stand up for the students instead they find ways to abuse their power over us because they know we won't fight back because our future is at stake.
Aw anytime I see someone with albinism it makes me smile. My grandpa was albino and legally blind. He was born into a poor Hispanic family in Northern New Mexico. His parents were farmers, who shunned him for being albino and blind, as they saw it as a disability. They sent him to a school for the blind which ended up saving his life, as he was welcomed by the community there. When he grew up, he became a teacher at the school. He was a carpenter who taught woodshop to legally blind and fully blind kids! He also taught people who recently became blind how to live and adapt to their new realities. Anyway, point being, people with albinism have a special place in my heart 💛
Your grandfather seems like he is a very sweet and caring person, wish we had more people like him in the world, it would be a much happier place 😊❤ thank you for sharing your story 👍❤
there is probably more to it . as an albino i did have people trying to shelter me from the sun and i was even told to not show up at graduation as it was taking place outdoors. sure people discriminate but there are also people that think its their duty to protect me because supposedly i am fragile. which i am not.
@@PHlophe yeah, that's the point. People do think that they need to help but that's not necessary and they should behave normally, because people with such situations know how to protect themselves. 💯
'You are different to us, you cannot participate.' This is cultural tiering and the basis of their class structure. It doesn't work if the people don't all think like those teachers do. Grouping alike people together is more moral in the eyes of these people. Younger generations are pushing things forward a bit.
Damn.. My albino freind in childhood always told me he was Australian, and i was too naive to know that australians dont speak hindi as i was soo small but i remember clearly
@M G Northern Europeans are more leusistic than they are albino. Albinos have no pigmentation where leusistic just means very fair skin but having some normal pigmentation such as hair and eye color. Albino basically equals no melanin and leusistic just means melanin challenged.
@M G I live in Sweden and I can definitely say that ppl are mixed. There are some blonde and blue-eyed ppl but thats very stereotypical and not realistic.
@M G The theory as I understand it is that when mutations occurred after people had migrated to that part of the world, because fighting the sun wasn't such an issue the lack of melanin didn't matter there. Light skin is a mutation in human history, and certainly a physical disadvantage in sunnier climates. It's a social construct, of course, that ever made it an advantage.
All women are beautiful. This woman however has a skin disease. My aunt had it too. This disease makes you blind eventually and having children is very rare because it affects the womb.
@@MrHaaan It doesn't affect the uterus and it isn't a disease. It is a genetic abnormality. If she stays out of the sun she should live as long as everyone else. She won't necessarily go blind, she should be wearing sunglasses. Don't make things up.
She's gorgeous!! I am in shock that the Indian culture, obsessed with light skin, rejected her, instead of celebrating her beauty. She looks like an elven princess.
I'd think since indian society is obsessed with fairness they would treat her better or with more appreciation since she is the fairest of them all "literally"
Fairness and albinoism aren't the same aesthetic. Thats like saying if you are attracted to chinese people then you should also like indonesian people because they are similar to chinese. Not the same.
Our white skin standard is closer to fairish red than a European white. Something like a fair Spaniard/italian would be more preferred than albinos or blonde haired whites.
I used to have a senior at school who have albinism. He doesn't talk too much, rather he would prefer to stay isolated in the class. As a child I was really fascinated by him. At the first glance I thought he was a foreigner but turned out he's just a local person who is slightly different from us. A lot of people used to spread fake rumours about him, like if you play with him or you'll catch the disease and all sorts of other rumours. I believe he was a lucky guy that the teachers used to support him clearing the fake rumours and helping him in every aspect possible. Hope he's doing well 🙂
Same thing there was a vaiya who also looked like foreigner. I was also very fascinated. Then i got to know his condition. Gladly in our college nobody cares about this disease and never said anything
My cousin sister is an albino. No one in the family has ever treated her differently. That's how society should be like. If one person treats another person just as a fellow human then half of the problems would vanish from the world. Anyways tomorrow is her birthday 😇.
Why are people so scared of someone who's different? They are HUMANS. They deserve to be treated fairly. Just a message from me to anyone who's reading this: treat humans and animals how you'd like to be treated.
People act different because this is how we are made we act differently to the things we are not usual to & you can't control that but you can change your mind slowly but not completely
@@Kremlin_ People can change their minds completely. It may be a slow process, but they can do a 180, only if they see that there's nothing wrong with being different.
@@aishwarya5663 may be that possible, but as far as i know human minds immediately detects something unusual in their environment but they can control their reaction but they obviously observe it & that observation can make you feel uncomfortable....rest is all about mindset & how you grown up
@@Kremlin_ Something is "unusual" only if we think it is. Everything that's natural is NORMAL not unusual. "Rest is all about mindset and how you grow up." Literally everything is about mindset and how you grow up, smh. If you have a toxic upbringing, you're more likely to be toxic yourself. If you have a positive upbringing, you're more likely to be positive and more accepting of everything and everyone.
This. People find a thing to nitpick on every person. Race, gender, sexuality, religion, as if they are bestowed with the responsibility of passing the last judgement. But when they are dragged through the same muck where they have clogged up the esteems of others, they moan and complain about it being unfair. The only way to remove this would be to start teaching children about equality, not as a concept or theory, but as a natural phenomenon instead, something that should be more instinctual that learned through philosophy.
@@markusjohnson6558 you are right. India is way too diverse. People say America is diverse but no, there's a reason why indians don't take DNA tracing.
She looks 100% Polish =))) You can see in their face features that they have common roots with Europeans, but our skin colour makes us look so different. Without that difference, we would be the same. Probably because weboth are indo-european🥰
@Alan Walker subcategories of caucasoids, kinda like there are different types of mongoloids, different types of negroids and different types of austrauloids. Its the skull shape and on the exterior are based on skin colors, eye shape, nose shape, lips, cheekbones and other shit. Kimda like how malays are a part of austrauloids and some mongoloids, but new guineans are a mix of austrauloids, mongoloids and negroids. Down to their DNA but different the exterior. I kmow nothing about dna race traits and shit but I still remember my class in 8th grade biology and anthropology
She looks just like me, and I am of western European descent. I used to get called albino by some boys at school. I went home and asked what that was. Now I know. I am glad she and her husband found each other! 💜
She lived in my city, i dont know her personally but I remember her face. She lived near my school, i guess. I still remember me and my friends used to stare her while going to school, at that time when we were kids we never thought that she must be feeling awkward and unconfortable. But now as a grown up I feel guilty for that. Although we never passed any comments but we made her feel uncomfortable. After so many years i appologise for that.
Wow, I've never seen an Indian albino before. I never noticed until now how European features are similar to Indian features. I would have mistaken her for being white if I hadn't listened to her story. I've seen African albinism and you can always tell that they're African by their distinct features. I'm 31 and still learning something every day. The world is mysterious, vast and beautiful.
I used to have a junior in my elementary school who had albanism. And I remember how all the students used to stare him, (including me) because he looked different. I remember seeing him cry sometimes in corridors, might have been because of bullying by his class mates and though always there was a teacher consoling him, I regret not approaching him and comforting him. Maybe I was too young to understand all this but now I feel I could have made his school days a little normal. He didn't want sympathy, he just wanted some genuine friends. I hope he's better now. Not bullying someone is good but supporting the victim is even better. I hope to react in a better way next time. =)
Priya, you were a child so its hard to incriminate here. I was telling someone that i wasted 25 years of my life deeply hating my albinism. I won't lie but it still feels uncomfortable. but it is what it is.
@@aalot6744 Nope please , you are lucky to have melanin. my problems with albinism, it can actually cost me my life. Look i have had enough melanoma moles lasered off over the past 7 years and those leave pink scars for some, do you know how scary it is to touch your scalp out of nowhere and then rush to check with the mirror whether the little spot you touched is a cancerous mole. I have had paranoia and anxiety because i legit thought i could be having cancer progressing and i am not aware of it. This isn't funny to me. when i am sitting on the Bus and all of sudden the sun too bright and i have to move seats and everyone can tell i am trying to not sizzle under the sun.
@I Hate Haters I think they meant Indians are caucasoids/Caucasian. Caucasian doesn’t equate to a melanin count, it’s mostly about skull shape and such. Of course there are also Indian mongoloids with more East Asian features, but the majority are Caucasoids with similar bone structures to Middle Easterners and Europeans. White people are just one type of Caucasian/Caucasoid. There are tan and brown Caucasians and Caucasoids as well, which is the category that many in West, Central, and South Asia fall into.
This is probably how the north European white form came about. Albinos marrying each other and being successful in reproductive terms. We don't suffer from Vitamin D deficiency ( rickets) although we have no protection against UV.
@@mememania2735 no. People who are fat are shamed by thin people and vice versa, people who are black/brown are discriminated, especially in sports because they are more powerful than white people, poor people spread false rumors about rich people and rich people try to dominate over poor people because they are jealous of their health, loving family ties, etc. This happens EVERYWHERE in the world. Not just in India
I love your message 💓. I feel the same. I am African American in India. Sometimes the attention doesn't make me feel safe. 🍃🌼But most people are very lovely 🙂👍
A girl in my school too had albinism, she was much older than me - a senior so I never really interacted with her. And for a big chunk of my school life up until 6th or 7th we too thought that she was a foreigner. But as far as I can tell, she experienced a normal school life, atleast I hope so. And that's because I never saw anyone swarming around her as if she was lab rat.
Are we seeing here Victimisation of People with Albinism? Because even in my School, Girls treated those boys with Albinism as Some Foreigner & Good Looking Man. We Brown/Dark-Skinned Indian were Neglected in comparison to those White Boys.
@@rishuyadav4410 that's a complete different side to albinism in India. I agree that could be great to feel, but for how long? These people have to constantly struggle to even have a semblance of being and feeling like an Indian. Now that is not something anyone would want to feel for the entirety of their lives.
Now I am feeling ashemed of myself. There was a girl with albino in our locality and whenever she use to come near me I use to get fucking scared and start crying loud i am about 3-4 that time . Later she changed city and I never get a chance to say sorry. Sorry.
So many teachers gave her years of trauma, and just one teacher encouraging her was enough to help her get confidence. Some people really don't deserve to be in this profession. Imagine being a teacher and getting frustrated at a child. This is way too common than it should be.
And she's. Indians are the ancestors of Europeans. That's what our ancestors books and epics talked about before the Aryan invasion theory was invented by British. What is more reasonable: few people from icy areas populated the most fertile lands of India. Or people from India populated Europe once ice age thawed. Mahabharata talks about it in details. It was written 5-6k years back
Her case is fascinating to me because she legit looks foreign, specifically caucasian unlike other people with albinism that you can easily determine has the condition (like her husband) , but then in the photos with her other friends/sisters you can see the resemblance is there, just more defined and darker, it just goes to show that skin color really is only skin deep, and yet it is still the biggest reason for discrimination.
"The biggest reason for discrimination" 50% of the population being treated as everything between non-human and just inherently lesser for being born without a penis since the dawn of civilization(and in a lot of places including India still to this day):
Indians have European admixture through the Vedic Aryan invasion during the Bronze Age, Indians are skeletically caucasoid and thus some can have facial features similar to Europeans. Race is very real and affects so much more than just skin tone, you would never confuse an African or East Asian albino for an European.
Now I literally believe that we are living in a judgemental world the world judge you in every thing if u are dusky prblm white prblm thin prblm fat prblm When this will change god She such a beautiful woman:)
@Manny Blackstar Haha...no matter how clean and unbiased someone wants to comment yet people like you still manages to criticize on everything for no reason. Lol
@Manny Blackstar Complimenting someone's beauty isn't racism but discriminating other peeps on the basis of skin color is racism.You can compliment anybody u want but make sure not to be racist towards a person of color at the same time.
She has a condition even if it doesn't seem like it, she can't face direct sunlight she needs to cover up and their eyes are also very poor and more problems that happens and because it's a genetic disorder , you'll risk your kids facing the same issues growing up not how the society treats them but how their body restricts them . You don't have to treat them any differently. I have seen a junior struggling with vision issues, skin issues and maybe some bulling as a kid because kids are brutal and parents need to parent better in this country.
Not giving her the job because of her Albinismn is discrimination and forbidden in my country (Germany). If stuff like this happens, you can drag the company to court for it. I cannot express how much this skin colour shit is frustrating me. My god, people are such intolerant bastards. Sadly, people with Albinsmn get bullied everywhere, the worst in Africa but even in countries with a lot of so called white population because even compared to whitish skinned people, they often look different. I think all that shit is unnecessary and dumb. Let her have her skin tone, who cares!? She is a human. That is the only thing counting. Not her skin colour or whatever.
That’s coz there are less factors differentiating albinos from the usual Germans whereas albinos are more distinct in Bharat. Cosmetic jobs are about marketability of the person. If you are not shaped a certain way or if you are not coloured a certain way you won’t be an asset. Western countries after millennia of colourism have just begun accepting all colours in their multiple colour societies, so as we Bhartiyas change our mentality, white colour will become more acceptable as well as black colour and also more marketable and future generations wouldn’t face that problem.
I used to have a classmate with albinism (We are Indians who lived in Kuwait). She was well-loved and happy with us. We obviously found her appearance odd at first (we all were 4 when we met) but the adults in our lives were very patient and helpful to make us understand that she wasn't different from us. We're 25 now and she's in a really good position.
Indians preferring White skin is actually a MYTH, Indians prefer very very light brown skin. Very very light brown is almost white in some peoples observations
I used to be bullied in school for having dark skin color and thought it would be good to be born fair. Now it looks like society will find faults in you no matter what you do or how you look
hardly. She's not the "traditional" fair skinned person, she very much looks diseased, that's why. These people are trying to spin the story, acting like people are bullied for being light skinned 😂
@Arati G no because people only want to see outer side they dont dig deeper, thats why people judge by looks bcs they dont want to take time to dig deeper in one 's character or problem or person.. So dont see outer surface just go deeper you will find something different
It is not so uncommon, i remmeber going along with a girl who had albinism in school van. It was indeed rare so we used to get so excited, but we never discriminated and made her feel bad. Curiosities were always there but nobody insulted her and she lived like a queen with loads of attitude and attention of others always.
Comment section m jitni positivity kash utni positivity society m hoti....school m hoti....sara confidence school m hi down ho jata h ye sab sunke...please teach your children to be sensitive and kind towards other... whoever it may be..!!
I remember being taught that albinos in India are known as Suraj Mukhi. Don't think it was derogatory but certainly discriminatory. The mental torture you get in India if you're a little bit different is horrifying.
Actually it's not derogatory but actual local language word for Albino. It also happens to be name of a flower that moves along with sun. It's not like albino term is more respectful but local word is not. Whoever said might have been rude - that I don't know but he/she spotted the skin condition correctly. I have seen albino kid in school. I don't remember anyone mistreating her. Particularly though she might have gotten stares. Mostly out of curiosity. If there is a bully, he will find something to bully about, it really doesn't matter if you look different or not.
You know, I feel like this really just justifies how arbitrary skin color is. If I didn't know better, I'd assume she's European. We are all the same. Let's treat each other that way.

@@niranjandesai6766 that's sad... I think it depends on the community/ society we live in. Like mine is a more open minded society that accepts a lot of stuff easily so I guess people have to learn to respect
I had huge crush on a girl with albinism. She was in kendriya vidyalaya and I was in different school. But I always managed to get time to see her after school ... Childhood pyar yaad aa gaya 😃
Because Indians ( all of Indian continent + Iran) and Europeans have same common ancestors who were Yamnaya aryans , and First Indians who built Indus Valley civilization were also Iranian farmers who were caucasians .so Indo Europeans are same . Caucasian is the biggest race in the world all over Europe, Middle East, North Africa, west asia , Iran , Indian sub continent, North America, South America, Australia, New Zealand all othese regions majority people are Caucasians . There are other 2 major races like Negroids ( black Africans) and Mongoloids ( whole east Asia) .
People, specifically those who are superficial and one track-minded are so judgemental. Why look for your neighbors' flaws if you can try to see their remarkable beauty inside out?
@@spyingonyallteacup2744 yeah but they don't have the same rights for "equal opportunity" there where a company could get in trouble for rejecting someone based on their race
I don't know why people here is only blaming indians like seriously bruh you are Indian also!!! And it's a human nature to make discrimination between us no matter if you are white,black,brown or yellow, that's why all life matter,it's so easy to blame your own country and people but hard to blame yourself!!!🙏🏻
Who the heck disliked this video? I don't think there's anything to be disliked in this video. I really appreciate her beauty and her confidence. I guess she knows the fact that she is very beautiful.
I don't understand why this would be an issue for most Indians. I thought they place white/pale skin at a higher value over dark skin. In my opinion, she could pass for a regular white woman, perhaps from Sweden or some other Scandinavian country. As a black man, she looks normal to me... just saying!
