strange tales of albinos

[4wd]

Just reading a few of these stories on BBC.
Apparently in some parts of Africa albinos are murdered because their body parts are used in magic potions.
What a strange world.

I can not see what good a census will be.

We would like to know a little about you for our records

Question 1,
Are you the same colour as your mom and dad, or chromatically challenged?

Question 2,
Do you have a regular job, or are you a murdering Witch Doctor?

I don't think you need to be albino - I read The Number One Ladies Detective Agency

In a similar vein - In Kenya some villages have almost no one left over 60 because they get burnt alive as witches
