Subject: Oli London Claims to be Transracial

Written By: Voiceofthe70s on 06/30/21 at 9:14 am

If only we knew who on Earth "Oli London" is. Nonetheless, London, some sort of Instagram "influencer", who identifies as non-binary and goes by the pronoun "they", has had surgery to get "Korean eyes".

Excerpts:

British-born white influencer Oli London has doubled down on their assertion that they're "transracial," after declaring they now identify as Korean.

London—who identifies as non-binary—has faced backlash on social media over the past several days, after saying on YouTube that they had "transitioned" races and cultures after surgery to resemble their K-Pop idol, Jimin of BTS.

And in a video uploaded to Twitter on Monday, London showed off their surgically-enhanced "Korean eyes" while speaking more about their identity.

"Now finally, I feel Korean," said London. "I identify with the Korean community. Maybe they will accept me more now because I have the look. Maybe people will think I'm actually Korean, which would make me really happy. They can see how much I love their culture because this is the extreme length I've gone to, because I love Korea so much.

"I just want to make Jimin proud as well, because Jimin is my ultimate idol. I want him to be proud, I'm sure he'll be proud that I look exactly like him now. I have his eyes. I finally have Jimin's Korean eyes and they're so, so beautiful... So I'm so, so happy with my new look. I can't wait to see the final results when my swelling goes down."

British YouTuber Paul Joseph Watson tweeted: "The backlash against Oli London is ignorant and bigoted. If biological men can identify as women, why can't Oli identify as Korean? Trans-racial must be added to the LGBT flag immediately. It's time to #StopTransRacialHate."

U.K.-based rapper Nzube Udezue said: "Can somebody who accepts that this individual is 'non-binary' please explain to me why that makes sense to you and is acceptable, but it is NOT OK for this person to be Korean?"

Hey if he identifies as Korean, we all need to respect that. It’s not much different that the other trans racial person, a Rachael Dolezal, who caught all sorts of undue flack because she identifies as a black woman.

It’s 2021 folks. Discrimination against transracialism needs to stop!
