oli london and how they came out as transracial and non-binary.

i don't want to gas light oli here, and say that they did something bad to come out, but now when people look at the non-binary community, people will think of, i don't know, oli london?

"if you didn't know who i was, you would just think i'm a korean person." no, oli, you look as if you have a white ethnic background. i'm not trying to be racist when i say this, when oli has claimed that they "used to be british." 

oli. u can't not become british. things just don't work like that. for example, people usually have three main things that they go by. race, ethnicity and nationality. for an individual like, persay, park jimin, who's race would be korean, ethnic background would be asian and nationality would be korean.

this works by having;

one, parents who are both of the same race, who in my provided example are both korean, meaning that their child would obviously be korean. but, in oli london's case, where two white parents gave birth to them, they refuse to believe that they are white.

two, having an ethnic background would just refer to a continent, i assume (?), since there are many such countries in asia, so in oli london's case, their ethnic background would most likely be white-british, which they also refuse to believe. 

i genuinely don't understand what is so shameful about being white?, what made u hate it so much u decided to fetishize korean culture, which for one, u are technically not even fluent in, and then begin to identify as a korean individual? this not only offends those of the lgbtiq+ community, since it's almost as if oli is a troll*, and offend those who are actually korean, which in my opinion, is just extremely disrespectful.

three, by having a nationality states what country u were born in. u cannot change ur nationality. for example, my nationality is american, and will remain american, regardless of the way i think i represent myself. i cannot change this, and i will be of american ethnicity unless of course, i decide to get a visa somewhere else, which may state i am of british nationality. this just resides in where u live and where u have ur visa/passport done.

in oli's case, they haven't learnt korean to an extent where they could even attempt applying for south korea's visa, and they definitley haven't lived there for the required period of time, which is around five years. 

that being said, i think this objective is just extremely rude and offensive. what if this becomes normalized? it's almost the same as changing ur very species.

 ─── 

*what i mean by this, is someone who would 'joke' around on the internet for views and likes, which if u have seen some of oli's posts, it does look like they this.

note: in the past, transracial used to be a word to refer to people who had been adopted by parents of a different race ─ it's almost sad how it has been given a different meaning.
