Kendall Jenner is stirring up some kontroversy!
As we reported, the KUWTK diva stars in the latest campaign for Mango‘s Spring 2016 “Tribal Spirit” collection.
The clothing line is inspired by the fashion and culture of the African Savannah.

The only problem? People are pissed that a 19-year-old Caucasian female — and NOT a person of color — is representing an entire society.
When the ads went viral, angry critics vented their frustration on Twitter!
Some comments include :

Lol at Mango’s new collection being called Tribal spirit. Lol at Kendall Jenner being the face of that collection.

@NylonMag @KendallJenner …seriously @Mango? You should know better. Leave cultural appropriation in 2015.

While these remarks make sense, it’s a bit unfair to blame Miz Jenner, who was simply doing her job as a model.
What do you guys think?! Is the campaign totally racist, or are people blowing things out of proportion?!
SOUND OFF in the comments section (below)!
