Kim Kardashian Slammed For Calling Her Cornrows 'Bo Derek Braids'

It’s Monday, the sun is shining (somewhere) and Kim Kardashian is under fire for cultural appropriation yet again.

The 37-year-old reality star recently posted a video on Snapchat that shows her hair in bead-adorned braids that resemble Fulani-style braids, which are inspired by the Fulani women of East and West Africa.

But Kardashian credited actress Bo Derek, who is white, for the traditionally black hairstyle.

“So guys I got Bo Derek braids, and I’m really into it,” she says in the video, referencing the actresses’ look from the 1979 movie, “10.”

It's always "appropriate" to use the best ideas, no matter which "culture" they come from. Anything else is stupidity.

Must have been a slow racist day.

Okay, as a white male, I am offended by black women who have straightened their hair and wear it in styles like white women do. There is more of this type of cultural appropriation than white women wearing 'black' hairstyles. But, but,....that would be raacist.
