Mixed race moggers prove coloring is absolutely everything. This can be best demonstrated with Meeks himself. He had mugshots released to the public before but they never went viral like the one he's famous for because those prior mugshots couldn't highlight his blue eyes as they're either too low quality or he hadn't fully developed them yet perhaps. Having the right coloring is positively essential to be a mogger.
In the mugshot I posted below, Meeks had hair and wasn't bald yet but even having hair couldn't make up for having inferior pigmentation for eyes and skin.
The mugshot that turned him into a male model accentuated his white passing traits and allowed to literally compensate for his lack of hair just because he had the correct coloring.
This couldn't go viral
But this could because it enhanced his coloring and emphasized his more white passing features
If Meeks looked like this, he'd still be in jail getting his shit pushed in by other inmates, technically he'd be having lots of sex like this timeline, just except with men instead
