The error in pretending caucasians are the result of albinos breeding with albinos is that there are caucasian albinos and they are nothing like typical caucasians. For the albino hypothesis to make sense there'd have to be no difference between albino caucasians and other caucasians because caucasians would be albinos. Caucasians have coloured hair and coloured irises. Actual albinos have red irises (because you see the blood in them when there's no pigment to cover it up) and white hair.
