Do you think race can be altered?
I do not believe so, however I also think it's crazy that people think gender can be altered
Love your top! Where's it from, Zoe? 😍
Through 🧬 DNA
I am sorry I don't want to sound like a hater ,but I thought I would just correct you ,the law you talked about was Newton's first law of motion and not the first law of thermodynamics which is the conservation of energy "energy is nor created nor destroyed ,it's conserved" and the video is great.
no. I grew up mixed race in china, and have been accused of both "asian fishing" in the US and for appealing to western appearance in China based purely on how i naturally look as a Wasian. I do not wear makeup, and i wear very neutral and minimalistic clothing so my appearance is seldom indicative of my racial or cultural background. There are countless things about my appearance I have NO control over, and I often get grouped with the same people online who are trying to appear as a race that is not their own. My main point is, race cannot be altered. Cultural experience and connection can be altered in my opinion, but literal race- no way.
Imagine going to your parents and saying “hey mom! Just wanted to tell you I’m Chinese now 🥸” like what 💀
"then why are you not a doctor yet?" would be a great response

The face claim thing is insane😭 you can't just "claim" someone else's face it's kind of already in use
It’s so creepy as well lol 💀 No one likes copycats.
It's also weirder when you don't do your research. I look Asian to many people. I say Asian because I've heard it all in my life. From Korean to Japanese to Chinese to Taiwanese even to Filippino. And I look at them in disbelief because I'm neither. I'm part Ukrainian/Russian (my mom was born in Donetsk and my granddad was born in southern Russia) and Italian (I was born in Italy and my dad is 100% italian). I can't imagine someone wanting to claim an Asian face using my picture. Despite I make it very clear to people I'm Italian. Due to my name and now second surname it's a mess for me. People don't understand where I'm from because my name is Nikita. And weirdly enough Italian people think I'm not of Italian origin (unless I walk around with my dad who I'm a copy of) and the cashiers at Russian stores think I'm Italian as they always reply to me in Italian. Come on, my Russian isn't that bad!
It's just a mess all around.
I forgot to add the most important thing. Thankfully not many people are interested in me. Otherwise I feel like I'd be perfect target for insults. I can't help the fact I got my dad's almond eyes and he's Italian. What I'm trying to say is people might associate me to RCTA people or think I'm trying to look Asian and asianfish when I'm not. That's just the way I look. I've always looked like this. I haven't had any face altering surgery. I just look like this.
i mean its not even true bc at the end of the day u dont have their face-
"already in use" LMAO
Isn’t that what your fav kpop idols do lmao. Red velvet turned red hair and even used freckles too and eye contacts to look ginger lmao.
As a white person who has spent more than half my life learning about, enjoying, and appreciating other cultures-- it's a no for me. I wish these kids would just enjoy the fashion and food (which is all they are really doing) instead of thinking they need to become an entirely different person. And honestly, you can't convince me it's different from "transracial". RCTA is appropriation at its most immature. It's kind of just sad.
FR
True, like I'm white and I appreciate china and it's culture but there are other ways of doing it than changing your race
I (for exemple ) decided to go to the university to learn more about it .
You can also travel ... There are many ways
I feel like , as Asian culture is getting more known, these white teenagers think it's "uncool" to be white
( When in facts we grew up with privileges and don't know how lucky we are )
I think the only good example I heard of transracial is being an child being adopted by a family that is not the same race/ethnicity as the child. It's interesting.
I agree. My entier childhood I enjoyed other cultures food (my whole family did). I also traveld and learn about thees cultures, maybe I start learning some new languages. I also ejnoy the the fassion and Kbeauty products. Also I like kpop which makes it even worse bc lot of people associate it whit this behavior. But because of thees people i somethimes feel emberesed to mention thees thing cause i dont want people to see Me like thees weird obsessed people
Real
It is so weird/surreal growing up being bullied mercilessly for being Black and Korean/Asian and now seeing people cosplaying as a Korean or Black/Brown or even racially ambiguous to appeal to the trend gaze. The irony is 💀 I’m not mad, I am very happy my daughter is reaping the benefits of all her beautiful ethnicities.
This. Exactly this. The only thing we are to these people are jokes and phases.

There is nothing wrong with getting to learn about a different culture or race but you trying so hard to turn into that race or culture that is pure madness 😂👀👀

Israel will win
For me, it's kinda suspiciuos the fact of the RCTA only aplies to "popular races". My point is, i never see a person tries to be jewish, for example. The RCTA is so along with the fetishation of certain cultures. I love your videos Zoe
I totally agree with that one, especially when you look at how they even portray these “popular races”. Like japanese people are defined by watching anime and koreans are defined by listening to kpop. I mean in the videos Zoe showed us they literally said things like “I want to be Korean because I like kpop”. That sounds so stupid to me I can’t put it in words.
@@moonlake1506 exactly, it's the stereotype of the culture.
I think judaism is a bad example because it is a religion and if people don‘t want you to you won‘t notice it
And there are people who convert to it (which is totally possible) for wrong reasons imo
I just got to talk with someone who converted because they felt connected to „the fate of the jews“ which sounds so strange to me
@@mynewworld1357 oh, it's true, i haven't think of that. Thanks for the information :D
@mynewworld1357 Judaism is an ethnoreligion: a group of people united by a common religious, ethnic, and cultural background. It's why the Holocaust was so horrifying; Had Hitler been successful in his goal of committing genocide against the Jews around the entire world, there is no way the Jewish heritage, culture, traditions, and even languages (Hebrew, Yiddish, Ladino, Judeo-Arabic, etc) would've been passed on. Judaism is an ethnicity, race, religion, fate of one's birth/family (if someone has only one Jewish parent, if you were raised Jewish, if you were adopted by a Jewish family and raised Jewish), an entire nation of people (Am Israel or the People/Nation of Israel; some nations like Russia, Germany, and Spain treat Jews as a national group separate from their own), and a culture that even have their own subcultures based on where they went to in the Diaspora and how they carry their traditions and even some traditions specific to their group (Ashkenazi; Sephardi; Mizrahi; Beta Israel/Ethiopian Jews; Indian Jews such as Malabar Yehuddim/Cochin Jews, Bene Israel, Bnei Menashe, and Bene Ephraim; Central Asia's Afghan Jews and Bukharan Jews; Chinese Jews such as Kaifeng Jews; Crypto-Jews; Italkim/Italian Jews; Greek Jews such as Romaniote; Georgian Jews and Mountain Jews from the Caucasus region of Eurasia; and so many more). While Jews can also be of other races and ethnic groups, all of them (sans Jews by Choice [converts] who have zero Jewish ancestry but have gone through a rigorous conversion to join what is called The Tribe, that they are considered fully Jewish) contain Jewish ancestry. There are atheist Jews, secular Jews, and observant Jews; All of them are still Jews, whether they are religious or not, because ethnically, racially, and culturally, they are and were raised Jewish. Sometimes people do convert to Judaism for the wrong reasons and some people do pretend to be Jewish for wrong reasons; Most people convert because they have, what's believed, a Jewish soul. Meaning it is believed that the souls of the JBC's were at Mount Sinai, along with all the other Jews (past, present, and future), when G*d gave Moses (Moshe in Hebrew) the 10 Commandments, and that by converting to Judaism, they are more or less returning back home and to the Jewish nation. How they found their way to Judaism is an indiviual story. The Jewish people have been around for thousands of years with a long, complex history and peoplehood. There's certainly more to Jews and Judaism than being only a religion, but it's really interesting to research and learn more about!
I think this is really creepy and disrispectful towards the culture of the certain country. I mean, there's nothing wrong about learning about an other culture but trying to turn your race into that is just-
especially if you only know certain limited aspects of that culture, like loving kpop and wanting to be korean, there is sooo much more to any culture than mainstream media stuff
As an rcta most of the people in the video are satire
Coming from a white person (southeast European) who’s lived their whole life in a very densely Korean and Indian-populated city in the US, the entire RCTA community makes me so freaking disgusted. It’s incredibly disappointing how the complex, intricate, and _not always sunshine-and-rainbows_ cultures of so many of the people I’m close to have been completely bastardized and reduced to what certain people only want to see of them. I’ve noticed that so many RCTAs cherry-pick the tiny, easily-romanticized parts of these cultures and adopt them exclusively (e.g. K-pop, fashion, etc.). The notion of “changing your race” is already gross and fetishistic in and of itself, but the way these people refuse to see any parts of an entire culture beyond its “best parts” makes it yet worse.
This. 100%.
THIS
they're just really insecure, i feel bad them
I’m rcta most people in the video are satire or quited being rcta we don’t really act this way
@@JiafeiTheFloptropicanQueen Okay, how do you act then? Elaborate on why you're RCTA and what it means to you.
Let's leave the identity and society related debate aside. RCTA community is, first and foremost, BLATANTLY UNEDUCATED. You CAN'T change your race/nationality by desire and watching/listening to something. These people lack BASIC KNOWLEDGE. Such blatant holes in RCTA's worldview is one of the most baffling things about this phenomenon. I hope these teenagers grow up and understand how biology works
This text sounded aggresive which, just in case, I did not intend it to be. Just felt the need to express a certain thing Zoe hasn't touched on in this video
Totally agreed. And your words are in no way aggressive, you are just stating facts. One cannot change their race or any other phenotypic traits given by their genes, but rather try to mimic the desired traits. Is it bad? No? Are my words offensive? No? Should we all pretend that there is a way to change the biology and the genes that we were given? Also no. I'm all in for people to express themselves, but i get the feeling that we are now in a VERY dangerous delusion zone.
I hope one day when they grow up they will look back and think about how cringe they was when they were 13
@@iqa1705 well they'll have to learn one day that they can't change your physical features and nationality by wanting it very hard and watching videos. I think they're just teenagers who haven't got hit with reality yet, and most of them will grow out of RCTA inevitably

Best comment on here fr
You know, I just think that some people have too much free time. Especially those 13 and 14 years old. Try going to a korean school. Let's see if you still want to change your race.
Agree totally. They have too much time and money in their hands, cause Mama and Papa get them jobs and pay for whatever they want .
@@slavvalb3933 but thats way more common today bc of how the teenage socialization happens more in a digital world than in the real world. Teenagers spend like 80% of their free time online, which did not happen before. They are exposed to virtually any type of discourse online. And when your identity is not quite yet settled, anything you can grab on to feel acceptable and value will do.
They are forming their identities and their perceptions of reality based almost solely on what they learn online abt the world. Its like Plato’s Cave Myth on steroids!
And honestly, I know teenagers eventually grow out of these phases, its been like that for decades, but what worries me now is how people are sometimes making permanent alterations to their bodies and even putting their health at risk in order to pursue these desires to be someone else (which is guess its also nothing new, but you get what im saying)
As a Japanese person who's been teased for their race, this is just weird and confusing. 😭
WHAT-
Omg ur English is SO GOOD, may I ask how long did it take u to learn English?
And I respect u guys, my school and country overall doesnt have many ppl of colour (mostly some Bosnian ppl (btw I'm Russian) and Slovenian ones) and we have like 3 black ppl and one Asian girlie who I didn't talk to but shes a bit younger than me and damn I js wish and hope that her life is good cuz I appriciate cultures

Thank you so much for your hard work and research on this topic ❤🎉😊 for me as an Asian , its kinda weird to see it, cause i still remember Corona Rasism 😢
As a rcta we don’t act like this
Point out if I'm wrong but I remember hearing that the term Transracial was meant for cases of adoption where the child of one ethnicity was adopted into a family of a different group (eg. Asian kid to while family)
Also the term Deadname is used in trans communities to refer as their birth name which they want nothing to do with since it no longer reflects who they are and can have very hurtful memories and associations with.
The idea of a Face claim I believe comes from online Roleplays, where you choose a CELEBRITY (not just someone off the internet) who's pictures you'll use for the roleplay. (Since in Live action roleplays you dress up as your character, but online you can't really do it/ online roleplays assume a lot of anonymousness like not sharing your real name or even where you live. Ofc I'm sure there's plenty of varying degrees to which this goes to. )
I went on for a bit more than I was supposed to lol but hopefully this helps shed some light onto the terms and ideas that these misguided teens have taken and bent to fit their delusion
@@avaariisisi I appreciate your comment, it puts me off how the terms "deadname" and "faceclaim" have been bent like that..
Unironically Snooki is the greatest example of someone who's transracial. She's Chilean and was adopted at a very young age by an Italian Americam family who passed her off as one of their own. She had no idea of her Chilean heritage until she did a DNA test in her mid 20s. Her family basically lied to her and adopted her specifically because her features were ambiguous enough to pass for Italian.
I love travelling to new countries and cultures but changing my RACE so I can be like that culture is no for me. Eating there food and putting traditional clothing is one thing but changing my hole indentity is another.
Thank god as a 14 y old. I don't have insta, tiktok and usually stay away from social media . 😂😮
Zoe being incredible and so passionate for give us new content
What bothers me is that with all these trends on social networks, it gives a super negative image of those who are interested in Asian culture and who have not asked for anything. For me who listens to kpop and who is interested in Korean culture, people now see us as crazy obsessed without limits because of these young girls ready to change their identities, which I find very sad. Let’s appreciate who we are instead of wanting to change what is impossible to change!
This reminded me to when being latina was trendy. honeslty as a latina born and raised in latin america that was really weird to see but it did not go as far as this trend and thankfully was forgotten quickly
i feel like a lot of them have to be trolling... there's no way
I think that the only way you can claim to be another nationality is if you grew up there. Like a white or black person born and raised in Asia could say they are Asian because Asia is their home and where they grew up. Same for the other races. That’s the only exception.
Okay but the subliminal community wasn’t like this it was all about getting more confident and self love etc subs it was a really positive and supportive community full of affirmation and all things as “I am healthy and I will heal” or stuff like that but now? What is even happening this wasn’t supposed to get to tic toc
This isn’t really the subliminal community. We still support each other and do affirmations. These are just the weird ass kids who infantilize races.
I find it really weird that more than one person referred to their race being "American" (meaning the USA). Do they really not understand that that is a nationality? Sure, in most places the country is both the race and the nationality of (most) people from there, as in German or Japanese, but the USA is kind of a notable exception.
Im glad im not the only one who noticed that. Its shitty how not only do a lot of people associate being American with bring white only (despite the fact that America is extremely diverse), but that alot of people still dont seem to know the difference between race/ethnicity and nationality.
I used have this phase, not gonna lie…they will leave this behind when kpop/anime will become too mainstream…back in the 2010s, they really used to be unique. And people crave unique. When they notice that now, everyone’s a koreaboo/otaku, they’ll change to something else. Also, being part of a community is super powerful and the kpop community is a real sh…
Exactly!! The feeling of belonging to a community is what I think is driving a lot of this behavior. You want to be accepted but also feel unique like the people everyone is admiring. But this is getting close to cult-like behavior, and when it gets to the point, no amount of logic is gonna be enough to reason with these people
as a person who is a mix of Korean and Indian, I was shamed in the pandemic and randomly RCTA’s started going to me and telling me I’m so lucky being Asian like what 💀 but I don’t understand how people went from hating Asia/East Asia to immediately loving it
Referring to 9:04, I just want to say that name changing is not unique to the race changing community. it is also a practice used by trans communities. It can also be done for security reasons or to escape an abusive past (which can be familial).
0:48 Zoe I really love you but that is the 1st law of dynamics, not thermodynamics
I never knew this even EXISTED
i mean, the thought never even crossed my mind lol
I love your videos, keep making content❤
Yassss the queen has posted ❤
I think it’s really important to differentiate race and ethnicity in this conversation. Race ultimately is something made up whereas ethnicity relies more on looks usually.
It doesn’t rile me up like crazy but as a black person it is indeed a bit annoying to see these (mainly) white girls partake while knowing that a black person would never even be taken a tad bit seriously if they said I want to be white / Asian / whatever now.
People would just deem it impossible because I mean how do you want to erase your blackness…
It’s just frustrating, privileged and really way too superficial
Agreed 💯
This!!! I had a lot of self hatred growing up as a brown-skinned little black girl. I feel like it's quite a universal experience to go through as a black woman in the west. There is NO WAY in hell I could ever be perceived as any other race as black.
Race are looks classified by ethincity which is dna.
It's also somewhat sad how much they hate themselves to the extent that they'd rather not just become another person, but an entirely different race.
IT LITERALLY ANNOYS ME SO MUCH THAT "AMERICAN" IS A RACE... LIKE WTH?
cant believe we got people changing races before gta 6
I think appreciating a culture and loving its traits (eg. Making Korean food, appreciating the fashion, and listening to K-pop) is a good thing, but claiming that you ARE Korean feels super wrong. You are just an American who loves Korean culture, it doesn’t mean you have the family history/pedagogy, context, or physical traits of a Korean.
I'm white. That being said, it's really sad to me people can't be comfortable in their own skin. I don't personally think you can just change your race. There's so many cultures, races, and ethnicities it's disrespectful to just dump your own mixed background. We need diversity, and everyone being different contributes to that diversity. You as one human isn't diverse. It's all of us that help make the beautiful, colorful picture.
Can I just add, that Oli London, at least in my opinion is not an influencer, they are and always have been an internet troll. When you put cornrows in your hair and sit in front of a black woman and say that you think that you can change your race, you know exactly what it is that you are doing. This person got tonnes of surgeries and then went onto and and every platform that would have hime to say that he "identified as korean", then a year later identified as non binary, the year later they identified as gender fluid, then a year later they are "de-transitioning", trying to sell a book, and using their social media to do right wing anti-trans grifting. He is just a troll, that got too much attention.
Here in Italy we always find crazy how often people use the word "race" in english. We only use the word ethnicity, the fact that human races do not scientifically exist is pretty widespread knowledge.
that makes sense i’ve never really thought about it like that
As a ginger trans guy this rcta feels offensive. Like race is not something you can change. I can’t change my experience as a ginger with all the biological side effects.
On the trans community we know that we can’t change biology as well.
We might change our appearance but we know that our transition is more on the social construct wise with the dysphoria as an additional pain point.
I used to say that being a transguy is not a roleplay.
It’s hard to tell if it’s dysphoria or a trend. Zoe’s analogy of the cardigan actually reminded me more of masking in ASD.
It's like being judged for the lunch you bring to school and the same ppl 20 years later are like, "omg I love Chinese food, Panda Express is so good!"
I'm European (german, dutch, some eastern european & (allegedly) distant asian) as a child I was teased & sometimes bullied for looking somewhat asian & nowadays it's a trend. I don't really see it in myself, but I can only try to assume how difficult it must be for "actual" asians.
I don't believe race can be altered. However, I do believe there is something similar to "transracial" if children were adopted & raised in a different culture. If black children grow up in a white family for example.
That awkward moment when you are early for once so you wanna comment but you have no idea of what to say… Anyway love you zoe
I LOVE U AHHHHH
People will just look for any excuse to not be themselves at this point 🤣
"Transracial" was already a term. Specifically for adoptees of a differnt race from their adopted families. The way its been appropriated and mangled is harmful to the adopted community that tries to discus the difficulties of having a different racial identity from your family.

Bruh most people I've seen only want to be what races are 'popular' like u never see someone wanting to be from Madagascar or somewhere that not many people live in.

Neither race nor gender are changeable
my mother is 100% European or "second generation Australian" and my dads full aussie. even though my familys been here for generations i always kind of felt out of place with both my Australian family and my European family. with my Australian family i would say thing diffrently, do things diffrently or like things diffrent to them. with my European family its the same thing but sometimes we dont even speak the same language!! in that sense i can understand and empathise with not feeling like your cuture is your own BUT the actions that follow are inecscusable.
in germany the same thing happened with (mostly) Turkish people. german teenagers from all german families started adapting accents(!!!!!!) it was insane
As a Korean and Chinese this is just so f weird
When i was a kid between the age of 9-13 i live in japan. It was hugely influential in who i was and helped so fucking much with my social anxiety, i used to get so sooo sick when i was even near a small crowd of ppl or whatever. I also really admired and appreciated the culture. Because of this and more, I used to call myself Japanese as a kid until i had reality smack me in the face when i koved back to america. Afte i moved back i got severe depression and my anxiety got less social based more identity and environment based. If i learned about this shit as a kid i would have sworn up and down i was this (but then again i wouldve called myself a cat therian, not hate to that group as i find them real cute tbh). This isntme hating om this group nor saying i am/was this as I am not. I believe this is hidden in a form self hate as that was where mine lied.
An interesting case study from the early 1900, is Fritz Haber, a Jewish German scientist. Early on in his life he decided to stop being Jewish, to because fully German. He went to the army and worked for the government and really thought for a while that everyone agrees he is fully German and not at all Jewish. Until the 1940's when the nazi rose and he had to flee Germany, because no matter what, to them, he was Jewish.

How i think of it
Okay wow! I never expected to see a book of the month sponsorship on this channel. I associate botm with booktube only. Unfortunately for me, botm is limited to US.
Aww wish hope they expand soon. But yes! Always on the hunt for good reads/ down for recs!☺️
Well, this is the internet so we’ll keep posting, Zoe!
I believe in subliminals but i really dont think you can use them to change your ancestral bloodline 💀
someone tell me if im in the wrong because i want to be better: im mixed black/white/asian and it just makes me uncomfortable. i felt bad when this "race change" thing became a trend because my whole life ive just tried to pass as one thing, you know? i just look like a tan skinned slightly asian person so ive always just told people im mostly white just so i dont have to deal with the issues i had before. my mom yelled at me and said "you're not asian enough to be asian and you're not black enough to be black" so i asked her if that means im white and she didnt answer. so i asked my dad if im white and he said no. im sick of people saying im nothing, so i just try to pass to be as white as i can be so i can feel like im not some weird "mutt" (as my old classmates had said) but i don't want to be one of those weirdo race change people either
I love different cultures, their languages, different food cultures, and the landscape with great views, but I would never change from being German to Scottish only because I have lived here for eight years and enjoy bagpipes and meat pies.
It's okay to be interested in culture, but taking over it and claiming it something else. Especially when people do it as a "trend"
I am also in RCTA, because of my great love for Japan, which was fueled by my Zen Buddhism studies, I decided to become a Playstation 5! Firstly, I can then play games all day long and secondly, I can sit in zazen better even if I don't know whether I'm standing or sitting as a Palystation 5 (?) , and thirdly, my design is finally hot AF!
As a korean person who lived in america when I was younger I got bullied sm!!! wtf is happening!!
This is interesting. Definitely think RCTA crosses the line from appreciation into appropriation.
I'll go and learn ASIAN on duoling now. Bye great video
lmfao
Correction: the first law of thermodynamics is energy cannot be created or destroyed.
A body in motion stays in motion in newton's / mechanics laws
I am also shocked and I think people who do such stuff are not a fan of a culture anymore they are obsessed with the (race)
I’m not saying that people should not like the music,food oder language of a another country but every thing has a limit
Pax wardrobe mentioned let's go
i deadass saw in a discord server (not trolling just wanted to see the chaos) n saw “don’t post pics w dark skin, people can be triggered by dark skin/tan skin! 🍡~” (not word4word, but extremely close)
That's messed up :(
Big fan love from India ❤
0:49 that's the first law of motion, the first law of thermodynamics state that within an isolated system, the total energy of the system is constant, even if energy has been converted from one form to another. :)
The fact u r 1 of the only ppl pointing it out
Yay I’m Waisan so nice! my race is trending 😍
2:12 bro the middle one especially the chinese column what😭😭😭
AGHHH BEING KOREAN-EGYPTIAN THIS FRUSTRATES ME SO MUCH LIKE JUST KEEP YOUR OWN RACE. I LOVE MY RACE AND I WOULDNT CHANGE IT EVEN IF IT WAS DIFFERENT JUST WHYY
u have such a cool culture omg
tysm!! I bet your culture is great too :D@@mochikluv
An object in motion is Newton’s first law not the first law of thermodynamics. That law states the energy can’t be created or destroyed only transferred from one form to another. But on the subject of the video, my generation is completely and utterly unable to enjoy something without making it their entire personality. It’s ridiculous
8:50 THEY DID NOT 😭😭😭😭 I LOVE A CHINESE SISTER 🙏‼️‼️
Well, I'm kinda confused...
I remembered that a couple of years ago Ariana Grande was highly critisized for cultural appropriation because her looks appeared to be more asian at some point. And people on the Internet were absolutely mad about this style-change.
Now seeing this trend, it's really complicated for me to understand what's going on through people's minds.
I am an open-minded person from Eastern European (born and raised here, continuing my life on the motherland), who truly enjoys western pop-culture in general.
And this controversial topic/trend leaves too many questions in my head rather than answers...
Kids not getting LOVE from their parents, is driving this.
People need accepted, so, they'll change their sex, their race, their pronouns, whatever is the "in" thing,
just to get attention, from anyone.
Parents don't realize the importance of their time in their children's lives.
i would never ever change my race, im a proud scandinavian, but i do love Korea, so im mostly just learning the language and is interested in kpop and kdrama
I am Bharatiya (Indian)...nd i do listen subliminals but not for being Chinese Korean or Japanese... but to be my best self for academic validation mental health self love and being my better self 🤷🏻♀️
no one asked
About the dead name bit: The term's usually used if you're transgender and your former name is your dead name :)
I love Asian food and stuff but i wouldn't change my race- like tf-?
I believe you can change your CITIZENSHIP, but your race/ethnicity whatsoever, damn craziness!
im korean and it is crazy how for so long i have been bullied that people now want to have monolids and be asian.altho i dont see anybody wanting to change their race to be indian or pakistani, they need to realize that there is more than korean, chinese, and chinese lol
So is ok for Koreans to look like whites girls lmao. I don’t think anyone wants to look Korean .. having doll eyes isn’t East Asian .
1:08 PLEASE BE SATIRE AGHHH ROFIJEKDKDKD
First time hearing about this.. I`m shocked
Please make a video on colour theory 😢😢😢
tbh i think that the main issue with rcta is that theres a lot more people wanting to be east asian and white, but not many people wanting to be black, and for that reason I'm not completely sold on the rcta community. Also the rcta community is like almost all teenage girls
4:59 i can be saturn? like the planet? no wayy i gotta try this out 🤯🤯
Ikr!!
