Just when I thought I’d seen it all, the Internet did it again. Apparently there’s a new trend called “RCTA,” or race change to another, sweeping social media that consists of young girls who believe they can literally change their eye shape or skin tone to that of another race by playing subliminal messaging in videos while they sleep along with other equally strange practices.

0:00.0 | Guys, I think I went down the craziest internet rabbit hole I have ever experienced, and now I need to take you along for the journey. |
0:07.5 | Let's talk about it. |
0:08.5 | Young Apollo with the best! |
0:14.0 | Before we get into this video, because I honestly need a minute, please like and subscribe. |
0:17.5 | I want as many people to find this channel as possible, and especially this insane video, so you know what to do. |
0:23.0 | Now, let's talk about something called R-C-T-A, and I'll tell you a story here. |
0:28.0 | Taylor messaged me out of the blue and said, you need to check out this article, it's about people changing their race. |
0:33.0 | I thought, this is going to be the same thing I've always seen, the Rachel Dolezals of the world, |
0:37.0 | or that Ollie London guy who thought he was Korean when he really was white. |

1:17.5 | Now, all of this sounds a little crazy. Like, maybe these people don't actually exist. |
1:21.5 | There aren't actually people on the internet referring to themselves as R-C-T-A's. |
1:25.0 | So I set on a mission to actually find somebody who was posting about this. |
1:28.5 | And I think I found them. |
1:30.5 | This is an R-C-T-A individual who was posting on Reddit saying that their English name is Vicki, |
