I found it interesting because while I had heard of Asians trying to look more white with surgery I had never heard of the reverse.
I wonder as Asia rises in economic and political power if this will become more common?
About what i'd expect from a site co-founded by the guy who founded the Proud Boys and gave Milo Yianopoulos his first gig in journalism.
Oh great, I'm sure exploiting this seriously mentally ill person and boosting their "trans-racial" horseshit all over the internet is only gonna do great things for trans people like me who just want our identities to be recognized
I can hear the chuds now "Lol, stupid t****y, you're as deranged as this person who thinks they're Korean."
Yes, because me being trans is very much the same as this white person claiming they identify as Korean. Lol, have fun being banned, transphobe.
Thank you for the overwhelming support it was so hard for me to come out as Them/they/kor/ean
:trans-sad:
as downright fucked up and racist as this is, this person is very obviously seriously mentally ill which has combined with an extreme fetishisation of Koreans and Korean culture
I don't know what's worse, this or that guy who got surgery to look like the Red Skull
counterpoint: the many (diverse) people you've seen do this were actually all anglo men, doing an incredible job manufacturing/shapeshifting identity
I mean, sure, people do get way too into their interests, but it should come as no surprise that identity is the most commodified in the imperial core.
I've always thought about how weird it is that asian people try to look more white, as if they're ashamed for being asian now I see this. Gah, this is all messed up.

Similarly fucked up is the way tons of women in African countries regularly employ skin bleaching product.
The other thing is a lot of black people, mainly women but not limited to, use very powerful chemical "relaxers" for their hair to straighten it out and make it conform to a white beauty standard of hair. Not sure when exactly it started but within at least the last 80+ years but a very large chunk of black people's natural hair is very large in volume (afros) which was and still is seen as so called "unprofessional" or whatever racist ass word you want to use here. It's extremely rampant problem still having employers either force or heavily imply black folks can't come to work with a natural afro. A bit more to it but I'm making this as simple as I can.
Anyways those "hair relaxers" can bleach, seriously burn and cause hair loss they are so powerful. Like legit serious chemical burns for some people, and especially if they happen to leave it in for too long. It's just really fucked up how this is still practically a requirement in almost every work place, especially the food/service industry and the more PMC type jobs. While some places like California have outlawed discrimination of this there is still obviously pieces of shit who skirt this with peer pressure and/or soceital expectations. But in the majority of states laws don't even protect them from this type of discrimination due to a myriad of reasons

Yeah infowars, sean hannity, tucker carlson, prison planet, ben shapiro, "woke mob", appropriating language of a movement and associating it with clown shit, I think their express goal is to damage the image of 'associated' social justice movements
