Wait I feel kinda bad what happened to ur eye?

I’m South Korean. This is disturbing to the core. What the fuck. Most of us aren’t K-POP idols thank you very much. Our culture is about hard work, self discipline, self-control, making a life for yourself, and eventual enlightenment and self-actualization. It is NOT being “cute” and wearing weird accessories.

The glorification of Asians and Asian culture through anime, Kpop, and Kdramas has made many people forget about the unpleasant things in east Asian culture such as the high suicide rate, plastic surgery rates, and powerful families/gangs that can pressure police and courts. Most Asians don't look like cute anime girls or Kpop idols and things aren't so pretty beneath the surface

Nah, those people thought Asian is only Japan, Korea, China. No, India, Vietnam, Thai, Malaysia, Indonesia, Laos, and others Asian country didn’t exist. They thought that Asian are just some anime or Kdramas.

Those gals be thinkin' you can just change your skin like in minecraft 💀

Love how they call Korean, Chinese, Japanese "races" and not "ethnicities" as if those ethnicities are the entire Asian I would love to see a girl/boy rcta themselves into a Pakistani or an Indian or just anything beside the Sinopheres

Love how they took a transphobic slur, took away the first letter, and then claimed it as their own slur. Way to highlight how they're mocking the transgender community as well 💀

They think this is a character customization screen lfmao

3:55 as an asian-american (🇵🇭) student of anthropology and aspiring academic, i couldn't help but scream in pain after reading "perfect korean dna," among other things

Damn. If only these people knew that you can embrace a different culture without changing your race.

as an Indian, when you mentioned India and a bunch of other south asian countries I audibly gasped. its like...a fourth wall being broken, considering the fact that most people are completely oblivious to south and west Asia being part of Asia. 😂

I’m also RCTA!! I was a girl in a village doing alright, then i became a princess overnight!

“Our slur is ranny so please dont use it” Well the more i think about it the more i want to

As an Asian, this hurts me so much with how little research they did. I'm not Korean but I am very into Korean culture, and it pains me to see them just summing Korea down as "kpop, kdrama, korean idols" 😭

It's hilarious that they think a slur can be any word they make up if they just ask you not to say it, when there's zero proof that the word was ever used against them.

0:17 "My name is Lily" 0:30 'Dead Name: Lily'

Cultures are meant to be shared,RACES are not.

Being asian isn't about being "cutesy" and watching anime all day. There are many different types of cultures in Asia; the famous structures, the foods, the language, the art, the music, the history, the traditions, etc.

its relieving to remember that if these people ever told this to anyone in the real world no one would take them seriously

I got banned off the transracial subreddit for saying to be proud of your real heritage and that race changing isn’t possible 😂

theres 48 countries in asia, but according to all these people theres just china, korea, vietnam, japan, and maybe thailand

“You can’t spell racist without RCTA!” In every single way about this seemingly “valid” community, he is right.

the fact that they "turned" the t slur into their own slur is honestly disgusting

“In conclusions bruh” the most inspirational words I’ve ever heard in my life

Actually met a few people who didn’t believe India was in Asia. They’ve crawled through life believing India was someplace in Africa.

As a half asian person who doesn't look asian, people perceiving me this way is my greatest fear

I am Korean I got so offended through this. Luv ur content ❤❤ (btw most of these “Korean names” would never be a real person’s name) also what do you mean “Korean eye” WE HAVE DIFFERENT EYE SHAPES TOOO

Btw the part where it said something really fast was “all my Korean family members are probably rolling in their graves rn, including the living”

RCTA ISN‘T VALID ECTA ISN‘T VALID RCTA ISN‘T VALID ECTA ISN‘T VALID

these kids gotta learn that its okay to be interested in cultures. you dont have to be a whole diff race to enjoy a culture😭

okay but i appreciate you so much for that audio it had me dead 😭😭😭😭😭

I'm asian and this is just.. super stereotypical and racist they think being asian is watching anime and listening to kpop and eating rice and ramen or smth💀

I'm married to an East Asian lady and am currently still learning her family's language. It's a long road to learning the language, culture, customs etc. but it's also a lot of fun, very rewarding and highly recommended. I sit at my in-laws' table, use chopsticks like they do, appreciate the same food they do, speak (poorly) the same language they do, participate in their same traditional celebrations... ... and yet never once have I tried to literally be their ethnicity. I'm always a Westerner, just one who is broadening his horizons and who has an East Asian family by marriage. These wannabes are an insult to everything that East Asian cultures really are. A typical East Asian dad would disown any child acting like they do.

When Dapz reacts you know it’s serious

when i was like 8 i used to watch subliminals thinking i would get powers, but watching them to CHANGE YOUR RACE is crazy😭

I love being in highschool and still being able to say "back in my day."

There’s a line between “transracial” cringe and feeling like you’re part of a country. For example, I’m Asian (from Hong Kong) and I moved to the UK and I feel like I am British (like I’m a British citizen) but my race will always be Asian and I’ll always be from HK

“Our slur is ranny” My grandma who uses ranny as another way to say random: 👁👄👁

great vid and btw the name "aoife" is pronouned "EE-FAH"

new sub!!!

4:05 "have perfect korean parents" my korean relatives to me every day: "why don't you unalive yourself?" 💀

The first one when she says "our slur is ranny" (which isnt a real slur) is bs. You cant just create a slur for yourself, it starts as a nickname then **develops** as a slur.

i am also 1/2 korean so i dont have monolids, but most koreans actually do go through surgery for monolids

Homie wanted to say, good job on clearin up your face :D What have you used if you dont mind me askin?

As an Asian, i feel cringe to be asian now 🙂 There's this person on IG who called me "Unnie" (I'm not even Korean) she/he asked , "Unnie, are you Korean? You're so pretty

I’m Vietnamese (half) and it scares me to think that I will only be seen as a Smart Asian Kid, Busty Asian Woman or Cute Kawaii Asian Chick. I was heavily discriminated against for being Asian (although I’m not sure why students from the Phillipines, a country *pretty much next to mine* were safe from being threatened and laughed at) and now seeing people fetishising Asians, it makes my heart bleed. I’ve heard a couple of stories where people have gone to countries like Japan and had full on *existential crisises* because no one wears kimonos or uniforms and none of the teenagers were incredibly attractive like they are represented as in anime. I feel like Vietnam along with countries like India, Thailand, Pakistan, Mongolia, and Singapore are brushed aside because they’re “boring” (someone else’s words after I discussed this with them) and they don’t match the idealised aesthetic of Korea and Japan. If you want to learn about the values, culture, food, everyday life, or even politics of the country, go ahead. But just claiming to be Japanese or Korean because it’s “cute”, “desirable” or “special”… no one around you is gonna take you seriously.

thats like being born a wardrobe but saying youre a fridge

loved the conclusion

Nahhhh these took subliminals from "perfect body" to "change your race" 😭

As a Mexican, I identify as White

You can’t spell racist without RcTA❤❤

Also them:YOU GET WHAT YOU GET AND YOU DONT GET UPSET!!

I’m Japanese and grew up being bullied for it. Now people online have Japanese usernames and fake names, even in a lot of video game lobbies. I don’t blame them for liking Japanese sounding names, but I just wish it was like this a decade ago when I was still in middle/high school so I wouldn’t get bullied for it lol now people say I have a cool name and at first I thought they were secretly laughing behind my back!

My cousins are British/Japanese, and one time, a girl called Sophie came up to them and said she was RCTA (White to Japanese) and asked for pointers on how to become Japanese. Apparently, Sophie was suspended for it. They still bring the story up on Christmas Dinner

I to am a REAL Asian (half Nepali). Not once did I think that would be a sentence I or anyone else would need to say. Might I add, no one wants to be Indian? Nepali? Tibetan? Bengali? REALLY???

“Black to white” is he most satire thing I’ve ever heard 💀💀💀💀💀

i'm an asian person and it just feels worrying that every RCTA thinks that the Asian community is full of anime-looking, beautiful people that only consists of only fictional characters and Southern Korean idols would look like. This just feels like they're stereotyping us in some unintentionally mocking way.

that girl in the start probably watches kpop all the time and thinks "wow korea is so cool! im becoming korean!" and then she finds out how korean women actually live.

4:50 DUDE THAT REALLY REMINDED ME OF OLI LONDON😭😭

As someone who has a Korean friend I sent this to her these are the exact words she said “well I don’t want no weird kids in my culture” (had to use grammar before some teachers pet comes and cancels me).

I took part in an ethics bowl team in college, which is a competituon where you're given real life scenarios to analyze from an ethical perspective over the year, then there's a competition where you're asked a question about the case and have to make arguments against another team. We spent most of a semester trying to describe why trans-racial is different from transgender. It's so obvious, but so hard to explain.

I once made a joke about becoming trans-Russian under a different video talking about the "race changers" and someone replied with, "As Russian, I accept you. But, you chose a very bad time to come out friend."

2:38 That's what i feel as somebody living and born in Ireland

I like the fact that everyone who wanna be asian only admires the "kawaii" aspect of certain countries like south korea and Japan while theres alot of other amazing countries rich in culture and traditions. These people are so delusional that the line between reality and this illusion is blurred. They cant tell the difference and the sad thing is reality is far more disappointing than anime and kdramas. Being south korean or japanese is a nationality, but actually appreciating their cultures and traditions is dedication; might not make you one of them but you can still be accepted. I like asian cultures and listen to jpop and a little kpop (expanding my taste and learning about new cultures) but i dont wanna live in japan or south korea or even become one. Im interestedin their cultures and like learning of the religions of them as well as thailand

Bro I’m a south Asian, and you have absolute idea how baffled I was that SOMEONE remembers us 😭 Being Indian living in south east Asia, I’m genuinely concerned at the massive rate and percentage of the population who sound like they practically failed geography in elementary school and go “oh you’re not pale enough to be Asian” or “stop lying if ur Asian, you’d know Chinese” These comments are from my online and overseas friends Meanwhile, I every person I’ve ever known and met face to face is Asian, and they’re mostly Malaysian, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Filipino, Burmese and Arabic who’ve all heard the same discrimination. 😭

6:12 xDDD i love your song

brouhhhh at the end got me

Honestly, as a Pinoy, it’s kind of sad seeing people not liking their race and believing they have to change it be feel better. Your race is a part of you, love yourself ٩( ᐛ )و

As for someone who listens to subliminals for funsies, I have always stayed thousand miles away from subliminals like "look Korean" "get adopted into a rich korean family" "get a hot korean husband/wife" LIKE HELLO??? FETISHIZING MUCH??? 💀💀💀

I changed my image to Jenny Wakeman lying on the floor cuz it's a lil' experiment I wanted to try out.

Kinda late but mentioning it only bc I haven’t seen anyone else say it; the girl in the thumbnail and at 1:34, Fuki Tanaka, is actually Japanese. Her video was stolen and someone RCTA put some random info on there to make it seem like she’s RCTA, but she’s not.

I want them to be reborn as an average korean or whatever citizen in their next life and truly experience the hardships of being one.

As someone who’s taking mandarin in my sophomore year, I’m shocked to know that these people exist. It’s just scary really..

2:21 *shakes head in irish dissaproval* yes im a irish-Indian mix and this is legit making me cry, tf do u wanna be Irish?

It's funny how Vietnam is part of the cute kawaii stuff when in reality, we probably have the widest vocabulary of profanity and the most basic "fuck you" is reduced to a mom joke.

Can we talk about how their 'slur' sounds a LOT like a certain communities slur? It's almost as if they're aware of the negative impact this has on the trans community but don't care because they just want to be 'special' and if it hurts the trans community in the process, oh well

im so happy he brought up how there are other cultures and ethnicities in asia, like Indian, indonesia, vietnam, and more, I APPRECIATE THAT A LOT😭🙏

The ad at the end of the video was qn app to learn a new language.... more precisely... korean

this is why i'm scared to tell people i'm learning japanese they gon think i'm like that💀💀💀

i showed some of these videos to my japanese boyfriend and he started crying on the spot 💀

yeah i also agree that most people forget that south asians are also asians they only take east Asians when talking about Asia and literally forget about the south Asians that form the majority of Asian population , having such a rich historical and cultural heritage and all that

5:37 "eat more asian food" shows only ramen

Get this guy to 1 mil. He ate a dorito vertically, strapped a jet engine to his computer, and exposed people who fake disorders.

2:12 the name is pronounced ee-fuh (like eva, but with the letter F instead of V) and it's a traditional irish name! another example of irish-originating names having weird pronunciation is the name sean!

I was bullied for being Half south east asian and now being "east asian" is the hip knew thing smh

truly a American moment

"you cant spell racist without RCTA" *Very well said 🗿*

I don’t know how they haven’t realized how wrong this is. It’s so goddamn racist. (Also how would music give you ‘perfect’ parents? Btw, Asian parents are not chill wtf? 😂)

“I really feel the Korean coming inside of me” Oop- ok then 😅

btw the text at 5:01 says all my korean family members are probably rolling in there grave rn even the alive ones.

I’m Moroccan and have pale-ish tan-ish skin brown hair and green eyes and when we were in class we were doing a “where are you from?” Thingy and when I put Morocco (a country in Africa) half the class got really upset and accused me for lying Africa isn’t just Kenya, Sudan, and other stereotypical countries in Africa just like how Asia isn’t only china, Japan, Korea

I like this dudes videos, because 6 minutes at a time is all I can focus for 😂 thx my dude

Hey! Just wanted you to know that “Aoife” is pronounced as “E-fa” lol. Keep up your work!

as an Irish person, it's literally so weird seeing someone else trying to become Irish lmao

what the text says on 5:01 is "all my korean family members are probably rolling in their graves rn, including the living."

the subliminal one is not how manifestation or subliminals work, I've seen people do a similar thing with becoming "endogenic systems" (which don't exist, if you genuinely are a system but don't have trauma it's more likely that you've either normalised to the point that you no longer view it as traumatic in any way or you don't remember it and do not realise that you have been through it which are both actually common trauma responses) through subliminals and manifestation which will not work, manifestation and subliminals are for things like mood changing, health changing, getting more money etc. which are all things that change throughout a person's life (you can also manifest people into your life, e.g. a romantic partner) you can't manifest traits and impossible changes such as race and a disorder that develops before the age of 9 as a teenager.

I thought this wasn't your usual type of content?

"Here's a slur I made up to be used against my made up identity, please don't use it" I'm losing brain cells

Korean American here! I just, wow. I was adopted to two white parents before I even turned one, and they tried with all of their might to make sure I never pursued an interest in my Korean origins. As I grew up with all of my all-white peers treating being Asian as a joke, I came to resent the way that I looked and, to an extent, all things remotely Asian. Going away to college was the first time I was able to meet other people that looked like me and learn about cultural things I've missed out on. I've since tried to reclaim parts of the culture I was robbed of as it's like reclaiming a piece of me that was always supposed to be there; be it through language, music, media, and historical dives. I've been fascinated by what I've seen, heard and learned, and am excited to someday visit Seoul to see that city and country I was born in! Unfortunately, I was also introduced to the idea of Korean fetishization. People who idealize being a Korean to an unhealthy degree and summing the entire culture up essentially as either an infantilized/cutesy culture where people are fragile porcelain dolls or BTS. It hurts when people tell me that I don't LOOK like a real Korean compared to their favorite K-Pop group. Bruh, I was born in Seoul. But it also makes me feel gross when I tell someone I'm Korean and they start salivating at the thought they're meeting "a real Korean," like I'm no longer a human, I'm just the subject of their weird, dehumanizing obsession. In short, please, PLEASE don't be an RCTA. It's harmful to try and claim culture and genetics (like, wtf) that were never yours to begin with. It just stigmatizes learning the culture entirely as cringe. As such, it only stands to makes it harder for people like me to try and reclaim what we've lost without a tainted sense of shame and embarrassment.

When the secret message was played, I spent all of my time to dissecting the frames and then when I finally got to it, it was just this random, random joke 💀😭
