In what can be termed an extreme makeover stunt, a black family has become ‘white’.
A man, his wife and their teenage daughter are unrecognizable today with a new hairdo and encapsulating make-up.
They look a typical white family.
This fascinating transformation was done as part of a French television show called “Dans la peau d’un Noir” (In the skin of a Black Person).
Interestingly, a white family also lived like a black family as part of the reality TV show.
Christine Cauquelin, a director of the documentary, explained that “this is not a movie about racism because France is not racist in the sense of segregation, but rather to address the behaviours that are causing tensions.”
It was done to illustrate that people are treated differently because of the colour of their skin.
Romuald Berald, 41, his wife Kitty Sina, 48, and her 19-year-old daughter, Audrey Verges was transformed into a white family.
While, Stephanie Lawrence, Jonathan Richier and their son Romuald Richier were chosen to be transformed into a black family.
Once the families had been chosen, a team spent six months developing pigments and wigs, and ten weeks preparing the materials and to test them.
The families had to be very patient as the team of experts worked on changing their appearance.
It took several hours to apply all layers of white spray paint, and to do their hair and makeup.
At the end of the process, the families, and everyone who saw them, were left in shock with their new looks as they look naturally white and black, and were hard to recognise.
Common sense is indeed not common.

In the eyes of God,there is nothing like Colour.Adam was a black man,Abraham was a black man,David was a black man,Solomon was a black man.The inhabitants of ancient Egypt were black people.The Great Nubian population in the banks of the Nile from which Egypt sprang up were black people.The people we call caucasians today were black men that crossed the straight of Iberia to Spain during the Ice Age.....they populated the continent of Europe and through the thousands of years they lost their skin pigmentation to adapt to the temperate climate of Europe.We are all Gods people and we are related in one way or the other.
