Inside the online world of people who think they can change their race

Since before she hit double digits, Alisa, 15, said she has felt a special connection with Japan. The high school student, who asked to be anonymous for fear of being doxxed online, was born in Ukraine and lives in Maryland, but she now goes by the Japanese name Miyuki and listens to “subliminals” that promise she will wake up and be Japanese. So far, she believes that by listening to YouTube videos with lo-fi music and photos of East Asian facial features while she sleeps, her vision has cleared, her eyelids have become smaller and her hair is just a bit darker.

Practitioners of what they call “race change to another,” or RCTA, purport to be able to manifest physical changes in their appearance and even their genetics to become a different race. They tune in to subliminal videos that claim can give them an “East Asian appearance” or “Korean DNA.”

But experts underscore that it is simply impossible to change your race.

“It’s just belief,” said Jamie Cohen, an assistant professor of cultural and media studies at Queens College, City University of New York. “It doesn’t ever really work, because it’s not doing anything, but they have convinced themselves that it works because there’s other people who have convinced themselves, as well.”

Changing your race is closer to reality than changing your sex.

I suspect it’s largely white people who feel poorly about themselves because they have internalized all the lies the media consonantly spews against them.

Being black is a get-out-of-jail-free and you-can’t-fire-me-without-nuisance-lawsuit status. Be handy, if you are a layabout.

Really. Using the drug that cures Vitellego apparently turns white people very black. There are similar melanin-producing drugs, too

A lip injection and a nose job — and viola, instant affirmative action status.

You can change everything about yourself except your sexual proclivities just by identifying as something else. Faggotry goes deeper than your dna. It’s in your soul.

If race and gender does not matter, what is the point of changing it.
So is blackface okay now, if done by medicine rather than makeup?

“Experts agree race is not genetic. But they contend that even though race is a cultural construct, it is impossible to change your race because of the systemic inequalities inherent to being born into a certain race.”

Ohhh nooo it’s not genitic.

“because of the systemic inequalities inherent to being born into a certain race.””

It’s from being born into a certain race but that is “not genetic.”

Just ask any rancher how many thoroughbred races horses were born from the offspring of prize bulls.

Teenage girls going through a phase?

I don’t understand the mindset here. I can understand admiring aspects of Japanese culture and wanting to travel to Japan. But wanting to change your race?

So what’s the next step , getting surgery on your eyes so that your eyes look Japanese?

I’m 6’8” and played D-3 basketball, thank you.

Not called “jewbacca” by accident.

And I have more rhythm than Obama, I don’t doubt.
