"Ethnicity change to another"

RCTA but worse, it is the action of attempting to change your ethnicity to another, for example Japanese to American. It is much worse than rcta for the reason that the cultures and religions they inhibit are extremely racist. For example: someone who went from Japanese to American would say "I love eating McDonald's burgers everyday yum yum". Meanwhile RCTA is based on changing physical appearance, like white to black, or Asian to Indian.

Rcta stands for ‘Race Change to Another’ while Ecta stands for ‘Ethnicity change to another’ - both have almost the same meaning! While Rcta/Ecta communities are highly hated among social media platforms for their stereotype of being white Americans who want to become Japanese/South Korean due to stereotypes and fetishisation- that is again a harmful stereotype and is absolutely not the story for every person who is rcta/ecta!

It is okay to call these people out for being racist since they wish to be Asian because of invalid reasons (stereotypes, anti-white racism, fetishisation, uneducated approach when it comes to East Asian culture) but it’s not okay to harass and not accept rcta/ecta members who genuinely do have valid reasons to want to change their race/ethnicity! Some valid reasons include:

- Racial trauma (being bullied, harassed, hated, abused, discriminated, physically or mentally attacked for their race)

- feeling disconnected to their race (they grew up around another race their entire life or not in the same country from where their race is from, speaking a language that’s not from their race’s country of origin, feeling very little to no connection to their race…ect)

- because of social/political issues (their country might be a dictatorship, responsible for terrible crimes like war, it might be very corrupt, their country might be discriminatory against them like sexism or racism, their country is highly hated among the majority of people)
(I’m going to use France and Belarus for example)

Person A: “Hi, do you mind if I ask - where is your family from?”

Person B “My family is actually from Belarus but I don’t feel connected to that country or culture and I see myself as French, I’m rcta/ecta)”

Person A “oh…why? I don’t think you can change to French like that”

Person B “ I know I can’t somehow genetically change to French through cosmetics and subliminals, but I have trauma from people discriminating against me for being Slavic and I don’t feel connected to Belarus at all because of its political issues and I never lived there. I admire French history and culture and I don’t want to be French because of uneducated stereotypes or because of a fetish”

Person A “Oh okay that makes sense. You’re not a harmful member of rcta/ecta and I can see you’re a genuine person who doesn’t wish to hurt others :)”
