A member asked:
Does ethnicity have anything to do with muscle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Each individual is blessed with a certain collection of physical traits. This is determined by the magic of human reproduction, i.e. You inherit traits from your parents (in simple terms). What you inherit has everything to do with the individual genetic material from your parents, not from stereotypes associated with your ethnicity.
