In the USA, it’s true if you fit certain other criteria as well. As a very “visual” country, your skin color, your apparent gender, your apparent social class, your “appearance of” wealth gives you more and more freedom. The proliferation of con artists in the USA from the early 1800s through to today that follow the EXACT SAME PATTERNS from tent-revivals, to snake oil salesmen, to televangelists and politicians and marketing alike is a strong demonstration of this as a fact. At some point, you will need money to ‘back it up’ but you can go VERY VERY far on appearance alone — IF you start with the ability to appear a certain way (and just need tailored clothes, hair cut, mannerism changes, certain height and weight and skin tone, teeth, etc)
