Vitiligo is race-neutral. It affects just as many dark as light skinned people, and affects about one percent of the world's population; less than half a percent in the US.

Even though Michael Jackson's vitiligo created worldwide publicity for the skin condition, a 100% cure for vitiligo is still not available. Nevertheless, the increased awareness is a step in the right direction. In fact, “vitiligo Michael” remains one of the highest searched terms on the Internet related to vitiligo.
