Controversial - the community to discuss controversial topics.

Challenge others opinions and be challenged on your own.

This is not a safe space nor an echo-chamber, you come here to discuss in a civilized way, no flaming, no insults!

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, "trust me bro" is not a valid argument.

Race is also a social construct, as you point out.

Skin color is a genetic phenotype., biological sex is too. Those phenotypes are inherited.

So yeah, you could change your appearance: skin color, bone structure, musculature, etc with surgery.

Michael Jackson is a good example of this (though he had vitiligo). Compare pictures of his face in his early career to later. He was still 'African American' though.
