After Kim Kardashian announced the creation of her shapewear line, initially called \u201cKimono,\u201d she was immediately met with backlash and accusations of appropriating Japanese culture. Kardashian changed the name to \u201cSkims.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Kardashian-Jenner family has also been accused multiple times of appropriating black culture by wearing their hair in cornrows. In 2015, Kylie Jenner drew blowback for a photoshoot in which she darkened her skin to emphasize the glitter on her face. Critics accused her of wearing blackface.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Khloe Kardashian came under fire for wearing a Niqab during a trip to Dubai. Commentators suggested that Khloe saw the niqab as a costume rather than part of a culture. At the music festival Coachella, Khloe Kardashian was ridiculed for wearing a traditional Native-American headdress as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Kendall Jenner has yet to make a statement about the accusations.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
