Look at the bottom picture of the boy he has Caucasian hair and features. Are we supposed to assume that coloration alone makes African hair what it is?

The boy has EUROPEAN features it is true. Most Brazilians (even those who mark “negro” or “branco” in the census) are racially mixed. I see this as a recessive gene from a European ancestor.

You're both making a fundamental error. These are Brazilians that have a LOT of racial mixing in their past. You can have features or characteristics pop out from generations before. Hair type is of variable penetrance genetically. It's not like eye color. There also more going on with that boy than just albinism. Look at his hands and his legs.

His eyes are blue, also. Albinos have pink eyes. There was an albino kid at college when I was there, pink eyes, white hair, not blond.

A Negro albino is still a Negro, not “white” even if his skin is like milk. It happens frequently in African -race populations, In some African counries they kill them at birth, in others they are revered. There is a famous African musician who is one, and he doesn’t have thick lips. I’ve known Afro-Caribbean albinos with blond hair. It’s quite common.
