Reality TV star, Kim Kardashian, has landed in a racial mess over a new hairstyle she has on. She is being accused of cultural appropriation, meaning she has credited a cultural element that originated from a minority culture to a dominant culture.
In what seems a replay of her claim in a 2013 post ascribing the same hairdo to the same actress, the 37-year-old posted a video on social media over the weekend, wearing platinum blond braids accessorized with white beads at the ends.
During the short clip, she said, “So guys, I did Bo Derek braids, and I’m really into it.”
In another post wearing the same hairstyle, she described herself as Bo West in the caption. Social medoa has immediately responded to this.
Kim Kardashian is however proud of her new look and isn’t letting people’s opinions affect her.
Kardashian hit back at Lindsay Lohan on Monday after Lohan called her new blonde cornrows “confusing”. Kardashian had replied: “You know what’s confusing…your sudden foreign accent.”
Kardashian was referring to the bizarre European accent Lohan picked up in late 2016 after traveling for a year. The actress debuted the accent at the opening of her Greek nightclub, where she was caught sounding much different than her “Mean Girls” days.
