In The Moonlight Bride Buchi Emecheta shows us that she is against the discrimination of albinos. In the story the bride is albino and she is very welcome in the village of Odanta. They really believe that she is supposed to bring good luck into the village and to their umunna (community). They think that she is the reason why they were able to discover the snake and hunt it, getting a lot of good items from/with it. When she arrived to their village, they didn’t discriminate her based on her looks and after getting to know her, they liked her personality and who she was on the inside. This shows that it is wrong to judge people just because they are different on the outside. It’s not albinos fault that they are born like that and it is a cruelty what some cultures do to them because of wrong beliefs.
If monkeys don’t discriminate them, why would us?
