Based on the internet’s ethnicity swappers Hall of Fame starring: Oli London, Rachel Dolezol, Martina Big, and Xianh Nishi - it seems to be isolated incidents that don’t happen very often. Recently a community called RCTA or ECTA has been gaining traction, which stands for race or ethnicity change to another. They claim you can turn into any race you want by listening to subliminals, supporting the community by creating RCTA content on TikTok and progress-checking each other on Discord. It’s pretty wild and they seem to be more focused on changing from Caucasian to Chinese, Japanese, or Korean. The prevalence of Asian media all over the world has made impressionable young people want to connect with these cultures… by morphing into one of them. The Tiktok Race Change Community Obsessed with East Asian Appearances and Aesthetics #edvasian
As a Southeast Asian girly, I have actually been harassed by one of these people online saying I'm a fake asian because i'm not pale. I am Indonesian 🗿
Bruh
Dafuq 😑
These people aren't right right in the head 😑
This is so real! I'm Jamaican and got accused asian fishing by a ⚪️ person because if my natural eyeshape. My Grandad is literally half Chinese and we all inherited his eyes. These people have serious issues.
Problem here is with Korean and Japanese idols and actors who go through plastic surgery and their fans start to persuade everyone that it's their natural features and pale skin, not tons of makeup.
Blame Asian celebrities and their fans.
@@aureliaaurita8138 the celebrities are simply meeting standards of the industry, they are victims in this cycle as well as the young fans whom look to these types of media growing up. The culprit is the entertainment industry, which by the way did the exact same thing to eurocentric features. Not even decades ago and even now, asians also wish they had the typical straight button nose and big doe eyes american celebrity had and would go through extensive plastic surgery, makeovers, and skin bleaching to look like westeners. It's always the industry, never the people.
One time, this girl came up to me and asked me all excited if I was Japanese. I said no. She then steps back, gets all offended, and goes "why not" like GURL WDYM WHY NOT
XD
WHY NOT 💀💀💀💀
Why not is CRAZY 😭
NAH-
what happened after..? 💀
Im tired of society choosing a “new hottest race of the year” and causing people to attempt to cosplay it for a few years before they get bored/“it goes out of style” and then picking another race to taint 😭 they’re treating races like tinder profiles…
Well, welcome to our modern dumb-founded society.
I know like, it was black, then kinda Latina or mixed, now east Asian. Kinda wondering what's next, maybe south Asian?...probably going to be wearing hijabs as fashion. As a black girl, I'm invested in the next arc lol
@@bigdog3695I'm going to become a NEET if they ever start wearing hijabs as a fashion trend because that will truly be an endpoint for my tolerance of society
@@bigdog3695 it was so funny when every white girl wanted to be black. as a fellow melanin charged human, my eyebrow was permanently raised whenever i saw the rejects of tiktok goin on ab blm like they dont js wanna say the n word
@@hhbeomthis might be overly cynical but it's the cynicism I can understand 😭
To be serious tho, it obvious that these kids (they're definitely dumb kids) who definitely insecure about their looks and fetishizing them. It's like how feel when I see 14 year old Bjorn Andersen while disregarding what he has gone through.
"can i claim your face :3" nice try skinwalker
Nahhhh
That’s offensive to us skinwalkers
@@Halfcrabswe’re sorry
@@polyaro2504 you are forgiven
Well, at least those type of rctas actually ask for permission unlike the majority of the community.
"Rcta is not the same as being transracial, we are more educated *then* they are."
I JUST KNOW THESE PEOPLE ARE 15 YEARS OLD
I bet most r below that age tbh
So glad my cringey teenage crap isn’t immortalised on the Internet forever 😅
Ikr
They even used “culture” as a synonym for “racial makeup”
Anyone & everyone could change their actual culture…it’s called MOVING
I really hope they are!
no bc whats the difference...
People think beauty is race 😭
You can be beautiful whatever your race is 😭
What world am I living in 😭
It's always been like this! I'm almost thirty and when I was in 8th grade in like 2003 girls in middle school would look up these witchcraft "spells" online that would change their eye color. Or change their hair color or turn them into a real vampire or a real angel and they genuinely believed it worked! It's literally this exact thing but more high tech! They would practise these spells and do the spells every single night trying to turn their eyes purple or whatever.
Yeah I remember era of runway and cover magazines with Brazilian and Russian models.
From this point, Russian girls always presented to be pretty, not because of individual beauty but because of ethnicity.
I admit they are pretty but not all, i don’t think everyone look like Vlada Roslyakova or Natasha Poly in Moscow streets.
This 😢
I sometimes get insecure of my skintone or my features, but i like looking at the cultures of my ethnicities to feel better👍🏾
I am so sorry lol
I can't imagine how uncomfortable and terrifying it must be to have someone come up to you and ask "Can I claim your face?"
It sounds like something the alien in the opening of a sci-fi flick would say before tearing a girl’s face off 😰
If someone say that to me I would count that as sexual harassment and immediately deck them in the face
@@JackdawFeathersThis is literally the premise of the hit horror movie "Get Out".
@@JackdawFeathers That's exactly what it sounds like. I'd be scared for my life if someone said that to me.
Black mirror type of shit
When I was a kid I straight up lied about being part Asian (I am super white) because I was into anime and just wanted it to be true so I could be more like my favorite character. I got the well deserved bombastic side eye and was immediately called out for it. Believe me, I am SO glad that cringey part of my childhood wasn’t documented on the internet.
I have an intrusive memory that sometimes pops up from when I was maybe eight. When my dad told me one of my great-grandparents was possibly Native American, I told one of my Native classmates that I was also Native American, and tried to compare skin tones with her. I still think about that.
(As it turns out, that great-grandparent wasn't even Native American, which makes the whole thing even stupider).
Seems to me like now it is documented in the internet 🙃
@@meifennellysieu7510this has happened to soo many white kids it’s something we’re all gonna have to talk about a little more one day soon. It’s like every other white kid in the USA was told they have Native American lineage somewhere and we were just kids trusting what our elders told us. And then went around claiming something that wasn’t true at all. It clicked for me pretty young, about 13 that it wasn’t true. I am 23 now and just took an Ancestry test to track more of my lineage and sure enough not a single drop of anything but white in my DNA. But my mother was claiming up the very day until I showed her my results that my dad was for sure part Native American because his grandpa told him that his grandma was… So literally everyone was lied to by another elder and turned to tell the same lie they thought was truth to their own children 🤦🏽♀️ just an absolute mess.
@@ShadySideUpeveryone wants to not feel guilt about colonialism so bad
@shadylight7710 fun fact, the DNA testing companies (23 and me, ancestry, etc) don't have United States Native American DNA to reference in their database so it makes everyone look like they have no Native American in them. There's a good shot your family was right, you just can't compare DNA to a database that doesn't exist
They really believed Barbie when she said "You can be anything" 💀
Lol 💀
And that's exactly why i liked Bratz and Monster High instead. Oof. 😅
@@VintageVirgo2002 HELPP
They took it LITERALLY when all she meant was about hobbies and jobs 😭🤦♀️
It's that post-camera and post social media attention addiction, since these types tend to stare at their mug all day like Snow-White's bitter and resentful antagonist did.
I recall seeing a Japanese woman trying to “look more Korean” and another girl who was Korean trying to ✨manifest✨ having grown up in Japan and suddenly speak Japanese through self affirmations. I feel like everyone is simultaneously having a mental break 😅
I’ve had many mental breakdowns, but I just got piercings and tattoos.🤣
Yup, I see it all over tiktok, Japanese people trying to be Korean and Korean trying to be Japanese. Writing their name in the other country's writing system. I'm on the anime/kpop/Japanese side of tiktok since I can understand some Japanese and there's a LOT of them, but at least most of them do say their real ethnicity. It reminds me of other Asians especially from south Asia pretending to be "hot Korean Idol-like" back in 2020. It is just weird, and let's not even talk about these rcta, or earlier would be categorized as weeaboo/koreaboo.
😂😂 the ending is so true yet funny
I mean, if you can change your gender, why can't you change your race?
FYI, you can't change either..
The grass is always greener on the other side.
I did not get bullied my entire life for being Asian just for this to happen 💀
now the youngins want to be just like you
😂😂😂 seriously I'd like a refund on all the racial trauma and mental health issues I've accrued over the years
Ironic really
Bruh same like wth😓😰
BIG MOOD fam. Literally used to get asked, why are your eyes so small and ugly when I was a kid. Look how the turn tables lmao
When I was 4 years old, I wanted to grow up to become Japanese.
I was sad to learn that it wasn't possible. My parents gave a simple explanation regarding ancestry and ethnicity.
Now I'm sad to learn that some teenagers are struggling with a concept that I could grasp at age 4.
I'm connected with my ancestral lineage and traditional teachings now.
Every culture is unique and beautiful. We should each be proud of where we come from.
We should also be able to enjoy and learn about other people's cultures, but without claiming them as our own.
@@jadziamerryweather77888This is GOLD!!!
when i was a very small child i thought id look prettier if i was chinese💀 i just remembered today. anyways it's fine to not understand if you're like 6 years old, but at like 13-15 these kids should know better.
@@jadziamerryweather77888except my heritage in England and Germany. I have no reason to be proud lol, I'm just another worthless white
The summer before I started grade 5, I watched The Secret Garden (1993), and I told myself that I was going to talk in an English accent (I’m from Canada), braid my hair everyday and act like a mysterious & moody orphan from the 1900s. I’m so glad TikTok hadn’t been invented yet or I know I would have been on there searching orphancore or something
I feel like everyone had that phase.
omg i love the secret garden but ive never watched the movie ive only read the book
orphancore lmao I'm dead
I am laughing and fighting with myself about looking up "orphancore" now...
I’m laughing so hard
As a Nigerian girl the " eat watermelon and fried chicken" threw me for a loop.😭😭💀💀
As a chinese girl, i can confirm a 10/10 way to turn chinese according to rcta: dance like jiafei and shriek like her like a fucking siren 🥰
Ofc and eat cats 💀 🤡
okay that’s actually wild as a black person wth 💀💀
Well well well, what do we have here?
I really hope that person was being satirical to show how racist and fucked up rcta is lmao
@@sugarskulls2817 right? like that HAD to be satire
Mental health in teens has been ignored for too long.
That's the main area it's focused on lol
That's by design.
Exactly this.
Nah, this is just the tiktoker ones
@@MrPandabrosExactly. It’s been focused on for them so much, imagine how bad it is for the others.
I was approached by a person in my college class asking me why I’m not RCTA. I’m brazilian but live in Canada, and taught myself Japanese because I like the culture and have always had a knack for learning languages. I didn’t know what RCTA was so they explained it to me, and then proceeded to argue with me for legit 20min when I said “lol no thanks”. They legitimately got mad at me because “I’m not using my Kami-sama (yep, Kami-sama) given gift properly” and said I don’t deserve to speak Japanese if I’m not gonna “embrace the culture wholeheartedly”.
It was wild.
I've been physically attacked by grown ass middle aged fucks for not liking anime despite knowing Japanese multiple times. Cool Japan propaganda really did a number on people.
Not the Kami-Sama given gift 😂😂😂😂 that’s waaaay too much lol
Wow, if they meet a person that speaks multiple languages their brain is going to explode
That’s so strange. I speak French as a second language but that doesn’t make me French, I don’t understand her logic.
I speak German and that makes up for 50% of my heritage but i don't say I'm German, I live in America. It's that simple
I got yelled at by one of them because they said I’m not Asian. I am in fact Indian. Please open a world geographic map.
yes, americans are not the best in geographic 😂😂😂
India is a South Asia country...
@@superiorclownery Did you really write that and not think about it? Please read your comment very slowly...
@@nomoretwitterhandles it's a fact, you can google it right away. I get why OP feel irritated when some white people acclaim OP is "Asian" and that's because those people are ignorant. But denying a fact is not helping it. OP is in fact, Asian, and they're from India, is an Indian. That's it
whats OP?@@superiorclownery oh wait nvm it means original poster
I’m Vietnamese, and seeing other people try to “become” Asian is such a funny, yet slightly offensive thing to see 💀
I wishes I was a big black man
I mean, if you can change your gender, why can't you change your race?
FYI, you can't change either..
@@baotruong6623💀💀
for some reason they always go for "pretty idols" hmmm 🤔
also vietnamese here, i saw the thumbnail with the white woman changing her name in the a viet name, and i was like 😶😶
It’s funny how back in the day people would make fun of black,Hispanic and Asian features only for everyone now wanting to look like us
white losers wanted to be black in the 90s too 🤷🏻
I know right? lol
Would you be offended if I said that not “everyone” wants it? 💀
@@plotoyadnaya_rossiyankano what's offensive is the western white males that fetishise these people and demonise thier own, adding to this issue
@@plotoyadnaya_rossiyankaI would applaud you. The fetishism now is insane. I miss the time when POC are left alone and judged as a person and an individual
"Face claim" just sounds so creepy. Subliminals are a weird thing too, reminds me of weird videos i have come across promising to transform you into dragons and stuff like that
it used to just be for fictional stories and stuff to help people envision the characters, now somehow it’s evolved into wanting to steal/replicate the face of another human being??
Idk I do use subliminals but not for weird ass shit like changing ur face , I use them for grades , clear skin etc and they do help. Not sure why ppl create race changing subliminals but I never get them recommended on yt lol
People need to get a life
Subliminals are not weird and were never meant for weird stuff like this. 😭 Subliminals were originally used for relaxation and confidence building. They're just like affirmations but for the subconscious mind, and they do work for minor things that can be changed by positive affirmations.
Imagine somebody wanting to look like you, and when they achieve that one heck of a creepy dream, you walk pass by them. Honestly, what the hell. It used to be normal, guess they like to ruin everything for us.
@@princessaeolian1350listening to someone talk to get clear skin is wild. People really do just think you can interrupt biological functions with words and weird sounds huh.
When I was younger, I wanted to be Japanese because I was influenced by manga, anime, and Japan. I was a weeb. I was twelve. I was cringe. I'm 24 now, and I still sometimes wake up in cold sweats thinking about my weaboo self. I even tried to go to a Japanese school when I only knew how to say Hi in Japanese. These kids are going to have so much fun reliving these memories when they're older and more developed. Plus, with the addition that it wasn't just your close friends and family who saw it, but millions of people. RIP.
You may have just closely associated mangas anime etc with japanese which is normal, so ultimately you might have just wanted to become and look like an anime girl 😭 just a thought
@@aqira2yoo486 Lmaoooo yeah that's 100% what happened. I was such a weeb. 😂
This happened to me as well 😭
@@MercifulGrace. BIG OOF to our cringe days 😭😂
@@amndajo Yeah 🤣
This isn’t just cringe it’s also like terror/creepy.
Makes me picture someone’s screaming “ I MUST WEAR YOUR FACE, I MUST BE YOUR RACE”
“I MUST DO AS YOU DO, I MUST EAT WHAT YOU EAT, I MUST WEAR WHAT WEAR, I MUST BE YOU”
No one show tiktok the movie FaceOff... terrible things might happen
I mean, if you can change your gender, why can't you change your race?
FYI, you can't change either..
I MUST BE TREATED AS A MAN, I MUST BE TREATED AS A WOMAN, I CAN USE THE MALE BATHROOMS AND LOCKERS, I CAN USE THE FEMALE BATHROOMS AND LOCKERS.
Same energy.
@@TedEhioghaeThere's no way you're comparing this to trans issues. 🤦
Why not they are all insane
being chinese and told once, "oh do you speak asian?" people are absolutely just dumb sometimes. people in this video especially. its not an aesthetic to be asian, its different cultures, we are different people. all cultures are unique and different in their own ways!💗
During the final of my sophomore history/geography class, my teacher was grading some of the tests that kids had just turned in and throughout the rest of the period while we were still taking our tests she would sometimes say things like "Islam is not a country." "Antarctica is not Alaska." and, the one to top them all "Niger doesn't have two G's." After class, she took me aside and thanked me for always listening and paying attention in class, which was a very meaningful thing to hear as I'd often been accused of not doing those things before I got my ADHD diagnosis. I ended up getting an A+ on the final and the moral of the story is pay attention in class lol
someone asked my sister "do you speak african?" in primary school. when she told them african wasn't a language, they proceeded to say, "do you speak nigerian?" NIGERIAN ISNT A LANGUAGE😭😭😭
I don’t really blame them for the “do you speaks Nigerian” one as a Nigerian though. In School, you’d usually learn about French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German (Romance Languages), then Japanese and Mandarin Chinese.
Thus people associate the name of the nation with the language the people speak. It’s fairly logical. As a kid, I would assume people from Kenya spoke Kenyan or people from Senegal spoke Senegalese. So when people ask me if I speak Nigerian, I always explain that there are several languages spoken in the country.
The African one is much worse, however, it could also be because they’ve heard of the language Afrikaans and think it’s the only language in Africa.
I’m not making excuses, just trying to explain where a lot of the confusion comes from. Lack of education.
@@debatable98 yeah, i wouldn't blame them either, but "do you speak african" is just sad to hear tbh. i do explain what language i actually speak, which is yoruba, and explain that nigeria has many languages and cultures.
When I was travelling abroad in California, I asked a group of girls for some directions. After helping me, they started asking me where I'm from and I told them that I'm from Finland. They got all excited and asked me to speak some European. At the moment I didn't comprehend what they said and started speaking Finnish to them. After they were impressed and said "So that's what European sounds like", my brain malfunctioned and then I explained to them that it was Finnish and European is not a language. That was the most shocking thing that ever happened to me, I knew Americans are known for being dumb (at leat around here they're known for that) but I didn't think they'd be that dumb... 💀
Damn it, now if I say can I claim your face, people will think I’m racist. Sometimes a guy just wants to hang a face on their wall.
Preach
ikr
The world is so unfair!
As a person who is Native American, I’ve had people tell me they feel a spiritual connection with my race, these people went as far as dying their skin and/or hair to match mine then went and told me how we look like family 💀 btw I’m a brown guy with black hair and it’s odd as shit whenever people do this. You can respect other people culture and learn about it, but to change your race is odd as hell man and pretty annoying.
exactly and the way they group all natives together as if they're one people and not from different tribes is so dumb 😭
I’m also Native American I’m Taino descendants from quisqueya when I was little people went up to me and said I am Korean or Japanese I said no they say I look Asian and then I said oh thanks for the compliment but no I’m not Asian I’m Latina American mix with Dominican and Puerto Rican and Taino and Afro Caribbean
Dying their skin? Like, as in black face?? Make-up? Or with some actually staining dye?? Regardless of which wtf holy I-don‘t-even-know-what-anymore
@@blue-uv4mh There’s this white chick that I work with who does some tanning stuff she told me about since I met her she’s been dying her skin. Not sure what it is, just that she said it’s something she puts on herself so that her skin will be a dark brown.
@@jacksmith7660 Oof… tanning isn‘t supposed to let you drop more than a few shades, I can‘t imagine the amount of product she’d have to slap on multiple times a day to go from white to brown wtf… Normally the deepest shade you can go with tanning while being white is a sunburned looking orange lol
So if she’s really tanning herself desi or really any deeper than orange it sounds an awful lot similar to blackface at least to me…
I'm crying the term "faceclaim" is when you're a writer or artist, and find someone who looks like a character in your story, so you use that face as a reference, not for LITERALLY STEALING IT LMAO
EXACTLYYY
yeah it is. as an amateur writer that was my first thought too.
it might just be a coincidence though so idk
I'm Korean, and it's honestly so detrimental to hear about this. A lot of people fetishize my culture, turning it into an "aesthetic" and minimizing the true beauty and appreciation it deserves. Honestly, I hate people who are "RCTA." Like, girl, you can't change your race.
Lmao your culture is plastic surgery to look western 😅
Gen Z has a weird obsession with romanticizing things in toxic ways. First they wanted to have autism/adhd/Tourette’s and now they want to fully change their race.
Or gender
I work at a Korean restaurant and there's one customer who makes me cringe- she will constantly complain to my (Korean) bosses that there are no Korean men to date, how she wants to learn the language because she's so invested in the culture (read: BTS), was SHOCKED to learn that I wasn't any percentage of Korean because "I could easily pass for half" (no I can't.), and then promptly stopped talking to me at all in favour of speaking to my bosses because they're Korean. It's crazy how K-pop has created a widespread fetish for Korean men in general- although god help any poor soul who doesn't look like an idol.
@@misantrope6267You can actually change your gender, you just can’t change your chromosomal sex. I mean, many intersex people have literally changed gender because they were assigned a gender at birth that didn’t match their actual chromosomal sex.
i'm korean and can confirm this stuff has been going on. i often get looked down on by people like this and they shame me for not having pale and clear skin like the true korean beauty standards. it's like my entire ethnicity has been stereotyped to beauty, kpop, and "aesthetics".
but seriously, what the hell is wrong with these people? you dont just listen to lofi music and asmr videos and magically transform into an asian. be proud of your race. it's okay to not, but stop trying to become what you obviously cannot.
They’re doing the same thing by saying look American? wtf does that even mean?
Sadly for most of my experience, Koreans have high standards and hate pale skin 😢
Man at least the Koreans and Japanese have positive stereotypes. Us Chinese literally have nothing but bing chilling, cone hats, kung fu and being a “plague to democracy” 😭😭
@@KaiserTwo Sichuan food is god tier tho, and Chinese culture and history is amazing. Also, Taiwan is China but not a plague to democracy lol, and honestly Mainland China is an important part of the capitalist system
Ways to connect with and appreciate another culture: try their food, listen to their music, read their literature, learn their language, ask people from that culture respectful questions.
Ways not to appreciate another culture: try to embody every stereotype of that culture
Same goes with gender. There’s no logical barrier between the two, just general cognitive dissonance and denial that it’s the same line of thinking applied to a different section of identity.
@@Window4503 are you talking about drag queens or trans people?
@@MJ-mp1fxI imagine they are referring to the trans community considering drag queens aren't so much trying to change their entire identity, what they do is more a character and less deep topic.
Literally just listen to people of that culture, support their fights, and appreciate the differences we all have as humans and how beautiful all cultures are
@@Window4503There are studies showing the brains of trans people best match their preferred gender they transitioned to
Realistically the terms themselves are made up
The ideas of race and gender were made up by people
As someone who used tumblr as a teen during the superwholock era i feel a primal parental need to protect these children from the wider internet while they figure out how to fight off the catastrophic symptoms of being 14
Eh superwholock was harmless, it was just cringey, this is full on offensive lol
@@iamjackspyramidshapedhelmet there was a lot more going on around that time. Superwholock was kind of just one of the more benign symptoms of being 14. Others include thinking youre right about Things which you have no damn clue about. Because having no clue is literally how being a child works. So it doesnt make these kids any more right but it does mean i bet money that in 5 years almost all these kids will look back on this phase and feel physically ill with themselves.
I WISH they were just making high quality gifs and obsessing over Misha 😭 like, I know there were some awful fanfics but at least people weren't being super effing racist
this is it this is the comment i can relate to 😭 seriously just wanna let these kids be cringey in the "rawr xD" way I was (...am. the way i am. i have not gotten better, i have just gotten older /lh /j ww) and not blindly racist like.... this ugh
I loved tumblr during the superwholock era. Just a ton of gifs that everyone understood and got reblogged constantly and a LOT of fanfic lol
As a Vietnamese person, viet people seem to also want to look Japanese or Korean too 😭 Saying “You look Korean/Japanese!” is seen as a compliment. People are also forgetting that MANY asians don’t have snow white pale smooth skin. We have tanner skin! I have not seen anyone as pale as the models they’re trying to be 💀It’s a beauty standard in Asia to be paler so seeing people try to “become paler to look asian” is wild!
yeah thats east asian feature after plastic surgery tho not their real real east asian face ,, well lets not ignore what real Korean before surgery looks like😂😂
Even Korean/Japanese themselves don't look like that.😂
Makeup, plastic surgery - that's not natural racial face features. Just modern asian beauty standards. They will change. Just wait.
Yeah
its classist in the end :) pale, frail (or fat) and long nails means you don't work the farm. Its like this in many cultures
not vietnamese but seasian and ive had people tell me i look korean/japanese as a compliment and i just stare at them like what do you guys want me to say cause i sure as hell am not gonna say thank you
"Rcta is not the same as being transracial, we are more educated then they are."
They claimed to be more educated but still proceeded to use "then" other than "than."
Average 4th grader with a superiority complex
@@bettygrof. even a 4th grader would have better grammar
I truly don’t understand this. There must be something wrong with these people’s mental health. I am from Europe (Serbia, to be exact) and consider myself a huge enthusiast of Asian cultures. I have a BA and MA degrees in Chinese studies and I lived in China for 15 years. I speak Chinese language and am learning Indonesian now. I am also curious about Thai, Lao and Burmese cultures and languages. And yet it has never occurred to me to try and “become” an Asian by having surgeries. This truly baffles me.
Yeah, it’s mainly a poor mental health thing, if you look more into it you realize it’s mainly children who want to do things like this. It always stems from reasons like “I got bullied for being black so I want to not look like this anymore” it’s a very sad development
@@brix-rb9dg don't disrespect actual mental health victims they're just dumb asf kids who like to be racist on discord
I think its mainly because some people who feel disconnected from their culture and spend too much time consuming other culture's media so they resonate with that more. Idk still weird and most of these people need therapy. Also can i just say, as a burmese person, I find it sweet you find my culture interesting :]
@@mofthemoth5755 Thank you, that’s very kind of you! I hope I’ll get to learn more about Burmese people, language, food and culture:-)
I'm so excited for you! Im indonesian and im happy when people want to learn our language and culture through it. I hope you the best! Some people say Indonesian is easy but what's hard are the slangs 😅 it's great to learn others language and respectfully get into it than changing ourselves and claiming we're something we're not.
As a someone with mixed ethnicity, my race changes with whichever government document I'm currently filling out 🤡
Edit: since this comment blew up, I feel obligated to share that one of my government permits required race to be filled out and I put mixed in the blank spot (driver's license doesn't ask for race so I legitimately didn't know what to put). The permit arrived yesterday and it says "Race: U" which means UNKNOWN 😭😭 y'all, mixed people don't exist we're simply a figment of your imagination
LOL
As a Turkish person I feel called out 😭. I’m either middle eastern, white, or Asian depending on whatever document it is 💀

Ha, my sister warned me if I get married I'd better tick that both my parents are British because she got hauled in for questioning when she ticked an African country for one of our parents. That parent has dual residency and has lived in the UK their whole life and we were both born here, but ticking the box triggered a process.
Can we talk about how that “Nigerian” instruction had nothing to do with Nigerian culture at all and instead is just a racist caricature of black American culture? This is why we can’t have nice things 😒

Also, because of these people, as a half Brazilian and half Japanese, I sometimes get called a "fake asian" because I don't "look very asian" (I simply don't have stretched eyes), and they accuse me of asian fishing. When I tell them that I'm simply mixed they say "Then you're just Brazilian, you don't live in Japan, you don't know the culture(I actually do know, my family makes sure of it.), you're not a TRUE Japanese".
Comments like these really hurt, why do I have to "erase" or "ignore" my ethnicity just because I'm not pure Japanese?
And yeah, these people need to make at least a basic research before making their cough -fake- cough "new name". I mean, there are some guides out there on the internet, they're for naming fictional characters but... At least it's a little better than calling yourself "Smart Pickle" 💀👍
Hey, at least the stupidity in choosing names isn't exclusive to these people so they might have a chance to get over it with how common it is elsewhere.
Like, for example, JK Rowling, an English speaking lady who's language was descended from Latin, chose to use the Latin derived English name "Remus Lupin" for her Werewolf character... which essentially translates to "wolf wolf"

Not that this whole thing isn’t absurd (and impossible), but there also seems to be something going on here with young people feeling so disconnected from their own bodies and faces. I lived in Japan for a while, and after some months of being surrounded by only Japanese people and Japanese beauty standards, I started getting really self-conscious about my body in ways I had never felt back in Europe. I started getting surprised when I saw myself in a mirror, and deeply disappointed when the outfits I wore (following Japanese fashion) looked all wrong with my face and proportions. My nose was too large, my hair was too frizzy, my eyes were too deeply set, my hips were too wide, and I was way, WAY too tall. Obviously I never thought I should actually BECOME Japanese (because, y’know, that’s impossible), but my perception of “normal” shifted to something that was very far from what I could conceivably look like, and it was a very strange feeling. I think all humans to some degree observe their peers and build a standard of normality from those observations. But when you’re used to being part of a majority, your brain doesn’t know how to deal with looking different from the people around you. I suspect what’s going on with these kids is that they immerse themselves so deeply in Asian-dominated online spaces (particularly K-pop) that their brains are exposed almost exclusively to Asian faces. They start subconsciously comparing themselves with what their brain perceives as their “peers” and come up lacking. And then, since they most likely grew up as part of a majority population, they don’t know how to deal with that disconnect, so when some deranged TikTok show up on their FYP saying that actually, their distress is legit and that they can “become” Asian to resolve it, they jump right in.
I think you hit the nail on the head

This comment is seriously a hidden gem here!
You know, I wanted to be different, not so white as everyone around me was darker (tanning) than me but I realised no matter how much I'd like to look different, it wasn't going to happen.

@EnchantingArtist Not really, they aren’t so much as sexualizing the race and more just targeting the areas they see as easier. Keep on mind this is mainly kids and teenagers doing this so it’s pretty clear some 9 year old who wants to be Asian isn’t thinking about them sexually.
Man, this reminds me of one time I had a “friend” tell me he was “more Asian than me” because he knew this one specific thing when he was watching anime about Japanese culture. I’m Filipino American and at least I’ve actually left the states to visit my parents’ motherland. ☠️

I love how you can't even wear clothes from or just generally appreciate and partake in other cultures without being accused of "cultural appropriation" anymore, while we have people out here wanting to change their race lmao
Exactly!
@@ae112 that's not comparable at all. The ethical issue with cultural appropriation is the fact that white people often benefit from other people's culture WHILE the people who that culture belongs to are PERSECUTED for the same reasons.
A common example is black people being discriminated or microaggresed for both their natural hair, and protective hairstyles like box braids, WHILE white celebrities profit from adapting the same aesthetics, like bhad bharbie or the Kardashians.
Are people from the UK persecuted for weating sneakers originally made there?
@@thesleepydotI agree. While I understand the point OP is making that some people really do point out cultural appropriation wrongly sometimes. I think white people have an issue with appropriation as a whole. You would not see minority celebrities changing their looks by racial feature trends. Why? Because minority celebrities are known and defined (by the public) by their race. They would essentially lose their public figure by changing their race. Meanwhile white people are accepted as whatever they are and can "gain exoticism or a change in flavor".
Black people would damage their natural hair trying to straighten it or wear wigs. Hell, non-black people doing perms know it can be damaging. And they would be discriminated against (for example, from a job) just by how "racial" their name sounds or if they "looked too racial". Having dreads or natural curls was seen as "not appropriate" AKA not white. It carried a stigma and reputation. So when white people wear it: their hair texture isn't that way, they don't fave repercussions of discrimination, and it didn't even come from their culture. Triple whammy.
Personally, it pissed me off to see a white girl wear a Chinese traditional qipao dress to her prom. Which could be fine. It was already problematic because she was probably dressing that way to look unique. But her and all her friends posing in kung-fu and karate poses? That's inappropriate. Just like a girl wearing box braids, wearing long nails, fake tan & bronzer, and talking AAVE and twerking. It's just fucked up to see a stereotyped caricature of your own people
They're not cultural wear lol @@ae112
@@marieclaireching Wow I completely agree with everything you said! I see a lot of people trying to discredit the idea of cultural appropriation, and it's often for their own benefit, so they can continue to culturally appropriate or support people who do that without the guilt. But the truth is that participating in or taking/getting inspired by other people's culture is NOT a non-ethical issue. Whether people like it or not, it has real life effects, more often than not bad ones. And to do that with such lack of care for a the significance of cultural aspects/attire etc such as with that girl who wore a Chinese traditional qipao dress to her prom..... no words. The least she could have done was not reinforce racial stereotypes and caricatures :///////

A bit random, but my partner is Filipino-American and I've been interested in learning some Tagalog (I know their mum speaks it, I assume their dad does as well but I can't remember if I ever asked and don't want to assume cause I know there are a lot of languages in the Philippines and they just speak English to me when I visit) but have no idea where to begin learning and don't want to put them through my awful pronunciation in the beginning, lmao. Last I checked, Duolingo doesn't have it
@@Alex-fc8xn oh good question. I’ll say even though Duolingo doesn’t have Tagalog, it’s not a great language learning tool. You’ll learn phrases and build a vocabulary but it doesn’t give you the grammar rules. I learned Swedish through the app Rosetta Stone and they have Tagalog. It teaches you in a way like you’re a kid. It’s a great way to begin a language. On top of that the book series and app “teach Yourself” is a good way to supplement the Rosetta Stone to learn the grammar and hear people speaking it. I have heard good things about the Rosetta Stone version with Tagalog. Anywho- good luck! If u have any questions let me know!
whats even worse is that the people that feel so "connected" to these cultures dont even know ANYTHING about the real culture, and are instead just going off stereotypes to try and become that race. even if these are kids i don't understand how they can be so racist, why do their parents not educate them? in 10 years this is gonna be the new "dark past" every youtuber has.

Coming from a Korean/Japanese mixed person, this trend really is creepy, but at the same time just so sad. I’m still in school right now, and it’s really unsettling to see other people my age acting and doing stuff like this. I’ve often been told that for being pure East Asian, I’m unusually tan and that “i don’t look asian” despite having completely Japanese and korean features. Seeing people act like this now, it feels almost like I’ve been “switched out” and like I no longer have an identity because according to this trend, I am “not Asian” because I don’t fit the standard. I want to extend my heart to all of you tan East or Southeast Asian girlies, you aren’t alone! We are ALL Asians, and you are just as beautiful as everyone else ❤
I’m sorry you have to go through that. Darker asian skin is so beautiful (as are all skin tones) and I hope you know their stupidity doesn’t diminish your identity in any way!

Another creepy thing is those white chick do surgery to make their eyes looks more Asian more foxy but as a real Asian who has those foxy eyes when born has to face all the f***king racist shit the whole life by having all the features. That’s just so wrong…… white ppl who did a artificial foxy is beautiful and stunning but Asian who has it will be called omg your eye so small ( *pull their eyelid) Ching Chong Ching Arigato 😅 wtf is that……Even ppl who think your feature is beautiful you have to consider is that because they like who you are or they just follow the trend….. 🙄
I don’t know much about my blood line as I’m from Australia and a lot of funky things happened there, that being said I do know my grandmother said she has Finnish and Maltese blood from her mother.
The reason this triggers me so much is because all the things they're doing to "change" their race are things I used to get heavily bullied for as someone who moved from China to England as a child - the eyes thing, having my language mocked, being told my food was disgusting. Like it's great if asian things are now being appreciated but they it's frustrating they don't realise at all how hard it was for us years ago
Prolly because they never experienced racism in their lives and are prolly just ignorant.
That's the thing that pisses me off the most about "wanting epicanthal eyes"- I can not tell you how much racist shit I get for this all of the time and have gotten for my whole life. It wasn't fun as a kid having people tell me to open my eyes all the fucking time. ugh.
From what I've learnt about the food in England from my British BF, British people calling Chinese food "disgusting" is confirmed insane bevahior

This is all rooted in deep insecurity with one’s self. I hope they can all learn to embrace who they are in the future ❤
yeah I honestly feel really sad for these people. they're young, and they want to feel special and pretty like all the idols they see online. those are such high expectations for oneself, and I hope they grow to understand that.
You know why they hate themselves? Because they are always being bombarded with social media posts and whatnot telling them they're bad and boring and evil because they're white. That's why.
That's so me I sometimes want to be pretty like an idol and be an idol only so that people admire me😭 I so want to be showered with compliments one day. I don't know what caused my insecurity, probably being constantly bullied in school for not taking care of myself (I was neglected) and always being looked down by classmates... Whatever I did, and whatever I had, it was bad to them. And I still hate myself, part because the most important person in my life made fun of me recently very very harshly and spread bad things about me and he's much prettier and is more famous than me (he has many friends and a big ahh audience) and it feels so degrading. He made me hate everything I make as an artist. I'm keep thinking about his words while practicing drawing. And I also hate myself because I'm a big PATHETHIC WEAK CRYBABY. Whatever happens I start to cry or even have a whole panic attack. I'm so sensitive and everyone hates it. I'm so weak my hands are constantly shaking too. ..I often feel like a burden who doesn't deserve anything. Thanks for reading🤩
@@cottoncandyperfume I hope things get better for you. There were many times when I also compared myself to the many different idols I saw and felt depressed or sad. There are so many things that we are told makes us worthy and gives us identity, whether it's how we look, or what ethnicity we are, how accomplished we are, and like you mentioned even what our friends or others think about us. But all these things are not what we should find our identity in because in the end there is no satisfaction in any of these things. We all grow old and looks fade. We will all make mistakes and our accomplishments will suffer. But take a look at someone who was at the end of their rope like Oli London. Nothing satisfied him. But he found the answer in God. We are worth so much to God because He created us as His children, so much so that He sent Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. Nothing can take that value away from you, not even yourself. Please look to Jesus because you have an infinite amount of worth to God. ❤

I don't understand why people can't just be fascinated by Asian culture, why do people try and fool themselves? You are who you are. Learn a language travel the world there is nothing wrong with that, but don't pretend to be what you're not.
Literally. I can’t think of anything more disrespectful to your ancestors than trying to pretend you’re from an entirely different culture for like any reason other than the whole “POC sometimes feel a need to blend into white culture in order to not get singled out and discriminated against” thing. That’s just depressing. I mean this whole race change thing is depressing too but it’s at least somewhat laughable to watch a white person look like they’re shitting themselves in order to look more uhhhh “Asian”.
This! There is no problem if you prefer a culture's/country's fashion, make-up or media. The weird thing starts for me if you make it your whole personality and force yourself to be someone you're not. (especially if you're starting to deny your real self)
Because it seems white people fail to understand that cultural sharing and appreciation doesn't have to mean appropriation and ownership.

"You are who you are."

@@puppydogs68Get Out, but make it Asian
I think it often stems from (mostly white kids) feeling detached from any ethnic culture or traditions. It’s something I definitely missed growing up and wished I had, but I’ve never been delusional enough to try to “change my race”??? I’ve had moments where I wished I was a different race because I longed for an ethnic culture and history that I didn’t have. Hopefully these kids wake up and smell the roses when they get older.
All it takes is a simple dna test. So many white people actually have culture they are just to lazy to connect to it
For me it's because they do feel entitled to take whatever they want, that's what they were taught. Like the world is literally theirs
the great thing about culture is that it’s so vast; it’s totally possible to develop a personal connection to cultures one didn’t grow up with, but it takes a lot of work. and interacting things that might not immediately be aesthetic or feel welcoming. it’s like making friends.
It's definitely more white entitlement and modern day colonizer/imperialist behavior of stealing and appropriating the parts of non-white cultures they like while also fetishsizing and dehumanizing said people.
Historically there's always been a white culture fascination with the "taboo" of non-white society whether it be African/African American dance and speech or Asian foods and customs. Then white people proceed to steal from said cultures either for benefit or rebellion against the oppressive nature of white society but then at some point they go back to embracing whiteness because they don't actually want to lose their white privilege.
I'm African American and grew up in a predominantly middle to upper middle class white neighborhood most of my life and I remember in the 5th grade we had a culture project and all these kids were proudly talking about their French, German, Russian, English, etc heritage. Then in middle/high school this is the mid 2000s-2010s and they all to certain degrees were acting black bc that's what was popular in pop culture like right now being Asian is cool bc of kpop and anime. They used aave just like gen z does now (no it's not gen z slang), they learned hip hop dances just like white gen z kids take dances from black creators on tiktok, they wanted tans, fuller lips, started twerking, etc. We're now almost 30 and like no offense I have no bad feelings towards them but they're like the whitest people on Facebook.
And I expect these kids to be no different. It's really more a phase of white people are bored with whiteness or it's not the cool thing in pop culture so they cosplay as being not white temporarily but are never gonna give it up bc as we can all tell from the racism in all of this they have not stopped being white and aren't going to stop.
I mean, if you can change your gender, why can't you change your race?

As someone who works in a primary school and we have to flag a child being exposed to risky things on the internet every week, in my experience, this likely stems from loneliness. Kids who struggled to make irl friends because they're lacking the social skills because their parents basically dumped them in front of a screen rather than interacting with them (and no, this isn't an exaggeration, we literally have to have structured lessons teaching the children how to play without a screen, especially after covid. Behaviour problems from poor social skills is massively increasing), so the child is faced with trying to socialise and bond with the only thing they do have access to: the internet. They feel forced to make themselves seem as exotic and exciting as possible to keep people's attention, so they can feel part of a community. Wanting to change race to fit in even more makes sense progress wise, because they never actually become less lonely fabricating an imaginary life, driving them to become more desperate to belong somewhere.
I'm in Scotland, and in the primary (grade) school I work in, we genuinely have children who speak in American accents because their only source for attention and language development came from American TV shows and games their parents put on a tablet for them, rather than parenting. We have literal 4 year olds with phones and tiktok. It's insane.
Scottish kids speaking in an American accent is pretty funny though
😂
I feel so sad for the next generation. im def not having kids lol, I don't wanna raise someone in this type of society. that's basically waiting for a car crash to happen.
Ikr, I visited Cambridge and met someone from Aberdeen Scotland but originally I though they were American because they just sounded American! After a while of speaking to them I heard small hints in their voice of a Scottish accent but honestly was shocked at that

Bruh they dont even think south asian is asian. They will know a very few SA asian countries like veitnam philippines thailand if your lucky but ive never ever seen one "transition" to a south asian country cause its not asthetic enough for them and asian countries have to be kawaii ramen chopstick
I'm mixed race between Japanese and Brazilian and I live in Brazil, so when I was a kid I was the only Asian girl in my school. That's why the thing about pretending to have Asian eyes is really sensitive. When being Asian wasn't a trend, I used to consider having plastic surgery to be "normal" like my friends (I was like 8), I used to hate my eyes. Today, I can see the beauty of my culture and accept my appearance the way it is, but being bullied for not looking like other kids and experiencing lowkey racism all my life still makes me feel bad. So seeing these people pretending and changing their appearance without being aware of how extremely offensive this is makes me pissed.
Same. I’m a quarter Japanese, half Filipino, and a quarter Puerto Rican. My name is the most Japanese name you can think of though, and it makes me pissed when people think my name is a trend. It’s hard already for mixed kids to live with an identity in this world, and here are people trying to take what little we have.
It's such a surreal experience having a thing we got bullied over suddenly becoming a hot commodity, AND a thing to gatekeep and hold over actual Asians.
Sempre me perguntei isso mas, oq vc considera Brasileiro? Pq agora eu n sei pq eu tb tenho descendencia japonesa por parte de mãe, mas ela nasceu no Brasil ent, Brasileiro da sua parte seria tipo indigena(nativo)ou tipo geral mesmo (imigrante, tipo Europeu, etc) ?
Acho q ficou meio confusominha pergunta mas no geral quero perguntar, meu pai tem descendencia europeia e minha mae japonesa ent eu seria meio Brasileiro/Japones?

I used to be apart of the subliminal community and left it because it was too weird. Because I kept seeing become Asian, or Korean. I didn’t want to support the community anymore and reported a lot. Like why are you changing your race? It’s ok to appreciate one’s culture but the fetishization of Asians are getting out of hand.😭😭
Yeah. I only go for subliminals that boost mental health and bring luck! Those are good >:)
When I first started using subs abt 6 yrs ago, the community was super weird with a lot of subs regarding race changing and thinner (like, REALLY thin) body types.
I don't associate with that side of the comm. anymore, for obvious reasons, but as the comment above stated, subs are really good for mindset shifts and have aided me in multiple occasions, so they're not all bad
The subliminal community is the most bizarre, cult adjacent thing I've ever seen discussed as though it's totally cool and normal. It's a weird cross between religious faith and pseudoscience that seems to really reel in people as of late.
"I used to be a part of the subliminal community and left it because it was too weird" is so funny. The entire premise of "subliminals" is weird
Race is a social construct, unless....

Seeing terms/ideas like deadnames being extended to stuff like “dead race” is just so strange n weird as a trans person. I think it is just genuine ignorance, but it feels so belittling to not only the lived experiences of other races but also to the trans community as well.

@@理論 There is literally nothing ironic about that comment, also I doxxed you, I am not sorry
As a black girl I can understand why this is happening. Racism is so prevalent on social media sometimes I fear going outside reading some of the things. I have wondered what life would be like as another race but then theres internal worry and then there's straight up fetishism. Cultures are beautiful but ALL of them are. I stopped wanting to change myself and start wanting to make a better space for everyone instead. This is Gen z's version of Tumblr depression and anxiety trends. It harms the actually inflected such as Trans people and the Races they wanna "change" into. People are not an aesthetic, you can love a different culture but DO NOT disrespect it by being someone you are not.
You’re partially correct, no person should force themselves to be something they’re not, race or gender, but no one should view it as racist or wrong for appropriating other racial cultures. Especially if some do it as an offensive joke. Because all races are quite guilt of appropriating other cultures.
The transgender ideology is the same as the transracial one, you only support one over the other because the media has pushed transgenderism propaganda for so long. People of the same gender but different ethnicity or race actually have more in common biologically than those of different genders and same ethnicity or race (so ya a black and white man have more in common than a black man and black women) so transracial can have a stronger argument (still dumb and not valid). Be happy with the way you were born! Everyone is unique just focus on intertwining your personality into how you were made
@@malbasedvalentine3210 Appropriating and fetishism are 2 different things. I like Douyin Makeup but I will never say I'm Chinese that's the difference
Lots of black women dye their hair colour to blonde. Do they want to be blonde it is more attractive than black or dark hair colour in general? I honestly don’t like to see it.
Not everything is racism.

I’m central Asian and frankly the only Asian person at school and it’s always some “rcta” girl asking me how my eyes are so small or my skin is so tan I actually hate it now because I constantly experience racist stereotypes and jokes but she’s praised for trying to looking Asian??
I’m so glad when I was a kid I didn’t have TikTok or I would’ve probably been one of these kids. My dad used to for some reason think it was funny to tease me and say I was actually Chinese and they adopted me but that they dyed my hair while I was sleeping.
While he thought this was hilarious, I totally believed him and as a small child ended up feeling a connection to Asian culture and being Asian.
Also the after school care worker gave me free dumplings when I had no money to buy them so that only worked as “proof” in my tiny child mind (when clearly she was just a very nice lady)

As a Zillenial I am relieved that back in my day the only worries we had was to hide we were a weeb.
Important to note with almost all of these cases is that members of the RCTA community rarely dig deeper into the negative traits / expectations associated with their chosen race. So it's not even completely accurate to say they are drawn to a specific race / culture, more that they are drawn to the idealised versions of that race. I find that with many people who adore Japanese culture, for example, they're often unaware of aspects of the culture relating to hard work, such as karoshi (overwork death), or issues with stigmatisation of those with mental health issues and how it's still very difficult to discuss mental health in the public arena.
Bro they'd tell you you were lying and that it's white washed propaganda to put "them" down as "Japanese" people 😭😭😭😭
Exactly, it's all so surface level so it's like... do you *really* identify with that race? Like, *all aspects* of that race? Because there are negatives along with the superficial cute aesthetic things that you like about it, just like with any race. It's so gross and insensitive.

People are ridiculous, just give them the finger 😂
To be fair, the American definition of "Asian" has mostly meant East and Southeast Asians while they just call West Asians middle easterners and south Asians Indians/Pakistanis/Etc. Even Europeans have the East and Southeast distinction from the rest of Asia which is called Oriental.
As a person with some south Asian blood I think every single country in asia is Asian becouse that's what the term means.
americans are usually made fun of on the internet cause of things like healthcare and gun violence

Shed say no but recently shes just been saying yes and been trying to do "asian" makeup (not even specific)
She once said "all asians" are her type. I asked what she meant by that and she only said "korean, japanese and chinese" i proceeded to list off other asian people like fillipinos and she brushed me off and scoffed so, needless to say im convinced shes listening to those sublimnals even if shes never told me that.
I can't believe that all this time I was scared of skinwalkers when in reality they were listening to me sleep so they could get prime ASMR material and RCTA into me (their face claim) because they identify better with my culture, they're so valid.

Once the trend dies (as all do eventually) most people who were into this will be embarrassed but the ones who were extreme enough to get surgery/modified their face will feel regret. It's like no one learns from hearing the people who regretted what they did to themselves from the previous trend.
They would probably get surgery again to follow the next trend
Or they devolve in Oli London
This is the same thing as trans
not really, this has been a thing for a while. i was in a server where they would boot out these rcta people. maybe less popular and less people talking about it openly, but i dont think itll go away completely
I have no information or facts to back this opinion up, but I do want to say that I personally believe we will become more desensitised to cosmetic surgery and perhaps critical of people who still find it weird, in which case people who have undergone extreme changes for race change will be (while maybe not passionately supported) inadvertantly excused and accepted. As just some other genre of plastic surgery.
I genuinely think that, while they may be embarrassed initially the world is so focused on becoming more accepting online that people won't throw these race changers into the spotlight.
If anything they may be judged on a personal level by people closest to them but otherwise go generally unrecognised.
Sort of like celebrities in the past whose surgeries got badly botched, we don't really talk about them outside of poor quality gossip tabloids.
Afterall race changers will mostly only be remembered as trendchasers and that likely will convince a lot of people to simply scoff and move on.
When someone asked my ethnicity I told them oh yea I’m Scottish and Filipino. And they said “oh you’re so lucky I want to be Asian so much!” I was just standing there just looking at them strangely.
I used to be just like this, but I wanted to be white. I genuinely would listen to subliminals every night that made my hair lighter and my eyes bigger because I was actually insane and these guys are too. Hope they grow out of it lol, being so young and online is not good for them
