Commentary: Rich Manieri - Welcome to a world where ethnicity is relative Rich Manieri FacebookTwitterEmail I confess that I had never heard of Oli London. London is a British-born “influencer.” I’m not sure how one becomes an influencer, but London — who identifies as non-binary and transracial — is an influencer. I’m pretty sure I’m not an influencer. I am sure that I’m white, as is London. “Hey guys, I’m finally Korean. I’ve transitioned,” London recently announced. Yes, thanks to 18 plastic surgeries and a fractured take on ethnicity, London is now Korean, at least according to London. But the transition has come with a price – death threats and estrangement from family, London said.
