Drawing upon interdisciplinary literature in anthropology, sociology, philosophy as well as from media reports, this presentation seeks to examine how the phenomena of the albino or the “white African body” whose skin contains no pigment and the vitiligo subject, a person whose skin gradually loses its original pigment by developing white spots which gradually increase in size and numbers until the person eventually turns completely white, continue to haunt Western discourses in racial differences, racial diversity, and imagined racial purity of whiteness.
