People are so fucking evil about vitiligo. Just saw a post about a man with vitiligo who was arrested recently, with a mugshot and very visible vitiligo on his face, and the comments were filled with people making the most disgusting jokes. Calling him a fallout ghoul, comparing him to burn victims as a joke (as if being a burn victim is a bad thing???), calling him the n word and calling him "strawberry and chocolate", saying hes a batman villain...
People like to pretend that people with vitiligo are accepted by society, that our disability is overall desirable in some way, and that's not true at all. The ableism people with vitiligo, especially dark skinned people with vitiligo, experience is constant!
