The KUWTK star was first photographed by paparazzi back on August 23 rockin’ the hairstyle out and about in Los Angeles. A day later, as you can see (below), the 23-year-old’s cornrow cut also made an appearance on several Instagram Stories posts:

Whyyyyyy????

We sorta figured this wasn’t going to go over well, and it sure didn’t; on social media, users blasted the reality TV maven for cultural appropriation considering the hairstyle has long been tied to black culture. Commenters on Twitter in particular were quick to call her out, as you can see (below):

“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 user wrote about Kendall’s cornrows. / (c) @tinaallamm/Twitter

Wow!

Still another user went in on Kendall with more specific criticism about appropriating the hairstyle (below):

“The issue with appropriation is not that we do not want to celebrate diversity,” wrote one user. “The issue is that white girls, that are the eurocentric standard of beauty, are applauded for the same thing that POC are ridiculed for.” / (c) @socratestyles/Twitter

Another user positioned this in the middle of a bunch of Kenny’s other controversies (remember that Pepsi commercial scandal, anyone?) noting simply, “she never learns.” Not a good look, Kenny…

What do y’all think about Kendall’s cornrows controversy, Perezcious readers?! Every time she does something like this it gets a TON of reaction on social media, both negative and certainly some who are in her corner. What about now? Where do you stand on her cornrow look here, y’all?!

Sound OFF about all of it in the comments (below)…
