A YouTuber who went undercover as a white man at a recent ‘Unite the Kingdom’ march also managed to trick the Klu Klux Klan whilst visiting ‘America’s most racist town’.
Niko Omilana, a YouTuber who will appear on Celebrity Traitors later this month, has made headlines after going undercover at one of Tommy Robinson’s marches in London earlier this year.
Whilst Robinson and other organisers insisted the march was not about racism but about ‘reclaiming’ the UK, Omilana has made headlines for going undercover as a white man named 'Ron Side' to expose the march’s racist underbelly.
The YouTuber wore makeup to pretend to be an old white man and espoused racist rhetoric, with several people he spoke to agreeing and even saying they’d brought knives in case any black people attended.

This is not, however, the first time that Omilana has exposed people's racist behaviour.
The YouTuber first went properly viral online in 2018 after infiltrating EDL marches, before later levelling up to confronting the KKK in the United States.
He did this in a video titled I Pranked America’s Most Racist Man, which began with Omilana heading to Harrison, Arkansas, a place he dubbed the ‘most racist town in America’.
The American town had previously made headlines after someone posted a video of them holding a Black Lives Matter sign which led numerous locals to come up and threaten him.
Harrison had also in its past had race riots, contributing to the idea of it being a racist town, as well as a well-known billboard in the town promoting ‘WhitePrideRadio’.
Upon arriving, however, Niko found out that much of its contemporary reputation comes from people who live in a nearby place called Zinc, who come to Harrison due to it being the biggest nearby town.
After some investigating, the YouTuber discovered that people claimed Zinc housed a secretive church named Grand Wizards of the Klu Klux Klan among their members.
Amongst those was Thomas Robb, a well-known white supremacist, as well as being the Imperial Wizard and National Director of the Ku Klux Klan.
The YouTuber contacts Robb and convinces him that they are with the BBC and are running a story about how the KKK aren’t, in fact, racist.
In the process, Niko pretends his name is ‘Imar Nonce’, leading Robb to say: "I’m a n*nce," as a result, as well as later making him call himself ‘clapped’.
Throughout the interview, Niko slyly mocks Robb and the Klan to his face, before later tricking him into calling himself a ‘p*ssy’ and saying ‘suck me d*ck’.
He even tricked him into shouting out ‘BLM’, which is the Black Lives Matter movement.
Though the humour is obvious, the video also exposes Robb's horrific, racist views, with him telling Niko how he doesn’t like being around black people and thinks that all races should be segregated and not allowed to intermingle.
When the video released back in 2022, many had similar reactions to his most recent stunt at the Unite the Kingdom march, heaping praise on the YouTuber whilst acknowledging just how bonkers he was.
One comment said: “Crazy that you could hold a straight face for that interview. He’s outrageous.”
As another said: “Man, it took some balls to do this. 50 years ago, the sheriff would have said ‘worst case of suicide I have ever seen.’”
