After their night out, Kylie, 22, shared photos of Kendall's braids on her Instagram story the next day and fans were quick to call her out for cultural appropriation.
“I’m EXHAUSTED of white people constantly appropriating black culture and wearing hairstyles that we are always ridiculed/ chastised for having and just doing it because they want to ‘look different’ or ‘stand out,’ ” one Twitter user wrote. “We wear these hairstyles to PROTECT our natural hair from damages but they wanna wear it because it looks cool. It shouldn’t be worn by them period," said another person.
