There are a lot of cool things about China. Some pretty uncool things, too, but you eat a steamed pork bun once and tell me that you’re not a teensy bit jealous of the people who get to eat them whenever they want.

Normally, someone who falls in love with Chinese culture will plan a trip to the country, maybe learn a few words in Chinese and brush up on the storied history of the nation. Not this kid — she wants to skip steps 1 through 10 and go straight to hard mode: becoming Chinese.



“I want to be Chinese,” the child says in the video. When she’s reminded that she is, in fact, Latina, she rejects the idea, insisting that she’d much rather be Chinese.


Unbelievably, this child isn’t alone. As it turns out, TikTok is filled with wannabe Dolezals, ranging from kids who think they’re Filipino to youngsters who really, really want to be Mexican.




Who knows what pushed these kids to want to be an entirely different ethnicity. Maybe they’ve just got friends of a different ethnicity with cool parents — or maybe the TikTok propaganda really is as strong as all the people in Congress say it is.



Unfortunately, these kids will soon learn that what they want is impossible, but if they keep posting on X/Twitter, they might get a taste of their desires.
