Celebrities Who Have Gotten Seriously Dragged For Offensive Cultural Appropriation

In an age where screenshots can be captured for an eternity as fast as you can say “receipts,” celebs should know better than to showcase their lack of political correctness while flexing for social media.

From seriously offensive Halloween costumes to questionable on-stage clothing choices and hairstyles, check out these celebs who are undeniably guilty of cultural appropriation.

Khloe Kardashian appaarently thought it was a good idea to flex her own version of Bantu knots for the ‘Gram.

Originally captioning the snap “Bantu Babe,” Kardashian quickly changed the wording to “I like this one better” after facing an instant wave of backlash.

Without acknowledging the historical signifcance of the style, Kardashian proved that she has no real interest in the origin of the historically African hairstyle.

For their walk on the Marc Jacobs runway debuting the designer’s Spring/Summer 2017 collection, models Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner each sported a set of colorfol faux dreadlocks.

Nearly a year after the collection received harsh backlash, Jacobs issued an statement apologizing for his insensitivity.

“Maybe I just don’t have the language for this, or maybe I’ve been insensitive because I operate so inside my little bubble of fashion,” he said.

What is it with celebs and thinking that Native American headdresses are simply accessories that you can put on and take off on a whim? Back in 2014, model Alessandra Ambrosio took to Instagram to show off her “Coachella inspired” outfit.

Note to Ambrosio–items of a dress specific to a culture do not exist just to serve as your festival fashion inspiration.

Every year, it seems that another batch of celebs parades their culturally insensitive Halloween costume on social media for their millions of followers to gawk at.

Captioning this upload “sheik p—-,” Scott Disick smolders at the camera while wearing an “Arab Sheikh” costume.

Completely ignorant to the fact that he was mocking many Arabic leaders with his clothing choice, Disick refused to comment on the rightful backlash he received.
