The Kardashian-Jenner clan are no strangers to accusations of cultural appropriation, to put it mildly.

Kim Kardashian, in particular, has been repeatedly slammed on social media for her decision to wear cornrows - a hairstyle worn by black people that was used to rebel against their slave masters and even map out routes to freedom.

In fact, things have got so bad for the family in the cultural appropriation department that Kim has even been accused of blackface.

But it's not just black culture that they have been accused of appropriating, and earlier this year, Kim was slammed for her new shapewear line, which she dubbed "Kimono" prompting offense among the Japanese community.

She was subsequently forced to rename the line "Skims" after the major of Kyoto personally asked her to take the feelings of the Japanese people into consideration.

Now, it's Kendall's turn to be in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons after she recently debuted her own set of cornrows. This happened when she shared a snap of herself on vacation to Instagram.

A day later, she was photographed in LA, knowing fine well that there would be paparazzi aplenty around, and clearly unfazed by the criticism her sisters have faced for cultural appropriation in the past, still wore her hair in cornrows.

Social media was flooded with comments from people explaining why the hairstyle was so offensive, but given the criticism that her older sisters have faced in the past, this is something Kendall is likely more than aware of.

"I'm EXHAUSTED of white people constantly appropriating black culture and wearing hairstyles we are always ridiculed/chastised for having," wrote one black woman on Twitter.

The same woman then explained that cornrows help to protect afro hair, and therefore aren't necessary for white people to wear, especially when they are doing so to "look cool".

Another black woman went as far as to accuse Kendall of "exploiting and stealing from black women."

This isn't the first time that Kendall has been insensitive to racial issues. Back in 2017, she incited international outrage when she appeared in a Pepsi advert that centered around her stopping the advancement of armed police with a can of the drink.

Critics saw this as a trivialization of police brutality in the US, which is disproportionately directed towards ethnic minority groups.

Then things got even worse then Kendall wore what was largely viewed as an afro wig on the cover of Vogue:

Clearly, it's about time that the Kardashian-Jenner clan invested in a cultural appropriation check officer for the sake of damage control.

Kendall Jenner has been met with backlash after releasing an ad campaign for her new line of tequila.

This week, the 25-year-old supermodel and social media star took to her social media accounts to promote the launch of her new tequila brand, 818.

The ad campaign saw Jenner blissfully riding horseback as she visits a distillery in Jalisco, Mexico.

Sharing several shots from the promo shoot with her 165 million followers, Jenner wrote: "[What] an incredible experience i have had thus far, learning about this beautiful place, it’s beautiful culture, and the beautiful people!

"@drink818 has launched in California... we will be rolling out to the rest of the US all summer long, keep a look out!!!"

Comments have since been disabled on the post as the model was met with a torrent of criticism from social media users.

This didn't stop people from taking to Twitter to slam the campaign - and Jenner's overall decision to launch a brand of tequila - with many accusing the star of "cultural appropriation".

"Kendall Jenner deactivating the comments to not let people talk about the cultural appropriation," one Twitter users wrote alongside a screenshot of Jenner's Instagram post.

Another harsh critic tweeted: "Kendall Jenner coming out with her 'own' tequila is ultimate modern day colonizer vibes."

A third wrote: "Not Kendall Jenner making a tequila brand, girl go make an egg nog company or whatever the white people created".

Another furious Twitter user wrote: "I'm Mexican, living in Mexico and tbh when I saw Kendall's add my blood started to boil.

"This is obviously cultural appropiation and it's not how mexican people should be portrayed because is a stereotipe. This just makes me sad but not surprised [sic]."

Explaining the reasoning behind the backlash in further detail, a Twitter user with the handle @talkfastloueh detailed in a lengthy thread how tequila is a "traditional Mexican drink made from Agave, an endemic plant in Mexico" and that it was important "because no other country can produce Tequila."

They continued: "It's an important beverage that we use when we are happy, sad, celebrating, mourning, etc. and it's important for the country's economy."

"Many families, especially in Jalisco, Mexico, produce tequila for Mexican brands or even they have their own small businesses of tequila. Kendall Jenner coming to Jalisco and starting her tequila is making that many families lose their job to big names like her."

The thread added: "Now, moving to her advertisement, it is a huge misconception of the Mexican culture. No miss Kendall, we do not ride in horses all the time, no we do not wear our hair in braids all the time, no workers do not get to drink the tequila (also that's not the way you drink it)

"Workers do not work with that kind of clothes and finally, your advertisement is so whitewashed/California vibes. Jalisco is not California, so don't try to make it that way."

Finally, the social media user pleaded with US residents to not purchase Jenner's tequila, saying: "Me as a Mexican, I'm begging yall that live in the US to DO not consume Kendall Jenner's tequila because what she's doing is called Cultural Appropriation making it hers."

"Listen to us Mexicans when we tell you that this is wrong. Is our culture and we don't want a white woman profiting from our culture."

Kylie Jenner has been accused of cultural appropriation after posting a photograph of her sporting braided hair.

Social media users quickly took to the comments to call out the beauty mogul over the never-before-seen picture, which was reportedly shot at the beginning of the year.

The snap, which Kylie shared on her Instagram Stories, saw her modelling bleach blonde hair with twist braids - a style which is often associated with black culture.

Watch as Kendall Jenner impersonates Kylie in the best possible way:

The photo was also shared on the Instagram account of the Morelli brothers, the photographers who shot Kylie.

"The cultural appropriation jumped out," criticised one social media user, while another corroborated "She wants to be a black woman so bad, until it's time to be a black woman."

"Why do y'all keep thinkin s*** like this is a good idea in the year 2020?" wrote a third.

And another added, "What's w/ the KarJenners & fetishizing black women?!"

"Happy New Year People!" the Morelli brothers captioned the photo. They have since claimed that the American singer, Gwen Stefani, was the original inspiration behind the snap.

Kylie has not yet responded to the backlash, and has not removed the post from her Stories.

The mother-of-one is not the only member of the Kardashian clan to be lambasted with accusations of cultural appropriation. Her older sister, Kim, has repeatedly come under fire for wearing fulani braids, amongst other things.

Speaking to Bustle about the braids controversy last year, Kim said "I actually did that look because North said she wanted braids and asked if I would do them with her."

"I [do] remember the backlash when I had the blonde hair and that I called them ‘Bo Derek braids.’ But I obviously know they’re called fulani braids and I know the origin of where they came from and I’m totally respectful of that. I’m not tone deaf to where I don’t get it. I do get it."

Kendall Jenner has been accused of cultural appropriation after launching her own tequila brand.

Earlier this week, the Victoria's Secret model took to social media to announce the launch of her tequila brand, 818, which just so happens to be the area code for Calabasas, California, where she grew up.

In an Instagram post, Jenner explained: "For almost 4 years, I’ve been on a journey to create the best-tasting tequila. after dozens of blind taste tests, trips to our distillery, entering into world tasting competitions anonymously, and WINNING.

"3.5 years later I think we’ve done it! this is all we’ve been drinking for the last year and I can’t wait for everyone else to get their hands on this to enjoy it as much as we do! @drink818 coming soon"

According to the 25-year-old, 818 has already won a series of awards in the spirits industry, and yet in spite of such high praise for the drink - she hasn't quite sold it to many of the naysayers on the internet.

You see, tequila is a real staple in Mexican drinking culture. It stems all the way back to the 16th century near the city of Tequila, and so has been around for hundreds of years.

Therefore in response to the announcement that Jenner would be releasing this quintessentially Mexican spirit, many have accused her of cultural appropriation.

"Something about Kendall Jenner making tequila rubs me the wrong way," one Twitter user wrote. "Like the idea of white celebrities taking from local Mexican artisans and profiting off our traditions and agricultural business yet only visit Cabos and Puerto Vallarta for vacation spots...

"And not to mention profit off the brown hands that actually plant, grow, harvest ferment and distill the agave plants in Jalisco

"Over the year foreigners have come in to source their products in Tequila, MX but end up paying workers sh***y wages and continuing the cycle of worker exploitation while not respecting the history and culture that surrounds tequila making that’s why people mad," another wrote.

A third wrote: "Kendall Jenner starting a tequila brand, with zero knowledge on Mexican culture and calling it 818 tequila is GENTRIFICATION. The 818 does not claim Calabasas."

"What about those smaller, family-owned Mexican tequila/mezcal brands? They deserve the hype & support," they added.

Another added: "Y’all [Kendall Jenner's] tequila is coming out but I beg of you if you want to buy good tequila please consider an authentic Mexican tequila that’s made with pure agave!

"Celebrities are white washing the tequila industry and it's becoming cultural appropriation."
