A fourth person wrote: “She really is the cultural appropriation queen.”
MORE BACKLASH
This is not the first time Khloe has been accused of cultural appropriation.
In April, a photo of The Kardashians star from 2016 resurfaced of her.
The Hulu star displayed a traditionally Black hairstyle, known as the Bantu Knot style.
Khloe wore an Oakland Raiders T-shirt, had on knee-high boots, and a choker with her nickname on it.
According to US Weekly, celebrity stylist Justine Marjan worked on her hairdo.
Khloe originally captioned the picture with: “Bantu babe.”
She reposted the snap and wrote: “I like this one better.”
An upset fan lashed out at Khloe’s hairstyle and called her a “cultural appropriator.
“This is Bantu knots which is a traditional African hairstyle. It was really popular amongst AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN at the time as a low maintenance style for natural hair.”
The upset fan concluded: “Of course, this cultural appropriator thought it was okay to put in her hair. Ugh.”
‘TAN IS VICIOUS’
Also in April, Khloe was accused of blackfishing after arriving at a Hulu event visibly darker than usual.
She shared photos from the Hulu event and captioned the post: “Hulu anyone?”
Critics flocked to a Kardashian thread and slammed her over her skin color.
Blackfishing is when someone appears to be Black by using hairstyling and makeup tools.
One critic argued: “How dark do you want your tan?”
Another critic added: “She looks very pretty, but that tan is vicious.”
