WAWU!!! Meet Zakari And Zavied, Twin Brothers With Different Skin Colours—25-years-old Dorian Johnson from Williamsburg, Virginia has shared photos of her two-year-old handsome twin boys with different skin colors.
Many has found it hard to believe that they are even related with Zakari being black like his parents while Zavied has snow white skin and golden hair after being born with albinism.
Dorian said whenever she’s out in public, strangers constantly ask if her African American son, Zavied, is adopted which makes her feels hurt as people judge her ‘golden child’ as an adoptee just because of the color of his skin.
Speaking out about the ‘everyday racism’ she faces as the black mother of an albino son in the hope of helping to end ‘discrimination’ against children with albinism, like Zavied.
She said:
“When we go to the store, or anywhere in public, people look at them differently and some people ask if my white son is adopted. They ask if he’s really mine and as a mom that really hurts.
‘I take it as a negative reaction, I don’t like it that people are judging him and us just because of the color of his skin.
I do get quite defensive about it, it’s everyday racism and I think it’s a form of discrimination. ‘It makes me angry and upset when people say they don’t look like twins when they clearly do if you look at them properly.”
