ok, this is marginal to us , but have a look at this widespread foot deformity found in the Doma (or Wadoma) people from Zimbabwe, aka the ostrich- (or lobster claw)footed, or two-toe people. one out of four among them has oyster feet. the gene is dominant and spread by traditional inbreeding. no wonder theyre mostly barefooters (go find shoes for THESE feet): no standard footwear for them... each pair of sandals must be a custom pair. spite of this deformity they still can walk but with some difficulty according to the shape, running is also difficult to them. it's said this condition helps them while climbing trees, though. :dizzy2: movie [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xI4vAxruSus&feature=player_embedded oh, this condition is not just their own trademark and can affect hands too.
Can't say I've ever seen that condition before. Sadly people in this society would likely stare and avoid them like the plague if encountered on the street anywhere.
youre probably right with your second assumption, and that's where the real evil is. it is like many people, out there, fear diversity as contagious or dangerous by its nature... it's not reasonable. couldnt blame someone for just staring though: this defies indifference.
