‘How Dare You!’: Kendall Jenner Is Getting Slammed For This Pic Of Her Wearing A Burqa Right Now
She's being accused of cultural appropriation.
Oh dear, Kendall Jenner has landed herself in some hot water after a picture of her wearing a burqa as a disguise in Dubai sparked outrage.
The offending pic was posted on Instagram by DJ Neptune who is currently visiting the city with Kendall.
The snap shows Kenny in a burqa posing with her friend in front of the Burj Khalifa, and fans were quick to call her out for cultural appropriation on Twitter.
One user writes “Don’t use my religion as an undercover identity especially in a climate where we are some of the most targeted people.”
Another commenter adds “So when Kendall Jenner wears a burqa she’s ‘undercover’ and its cool but when my mum does it she’s a ‘terrorist’ and ‘oppressed’?”
So your princess Kendall Jenner wears a “Burkha” to avoid paps which is completely normal but when a Muslim woman wears it she’s a terriost?

I wish my hijab helped me go undercover at 14 when a stranger told me I was oppressed and I had trouble with my identity @KendallJenner

How dare Kendall Jenner wear a burqa to hide from the paps when Muslim women around the world are being discriminated against for wearing it

This isn’t the first time Kendall has been accused of appropriating another culture. She was previously slammed for wearing fake dreadlocks during the Marc Jacobs show at New York Fashion Week last month.
