I can’t work out if this is a stunt to highlight the problems with self-identification or if they are being genuine?!

It's not a stunt. The guy is genuinely bonkers. But I completely accept his human right to identify as Korean. Why not, eh?

That's a pretty expensive and painful stunt if that's the aim.

I think if you could identify into a demographic I would identify as a social class, the one that has lots of money, a big house and a pool and home gym, I certainly wouldn't identify into a group who had it worse.

It doesn't look like a stunt.
Absolutely bonkers though.

I whooped when I saw it.

I’ve been saying to DH that I think I’ll identify as Chinese and if anyone challenges me I’ll called them a hateful bigot.

I am so glad someone did it and whether it’s a stunt or not it doesn’t matter, it shows the utter ridiculousness of the whole thing.
