For years and years, Kim Kardashian has faced a sizable amount of social media backlash. So it's no surprise that she's mostly unfazed at this point regarding online hate. Some argue that bad press is what led the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star into mega fame in the first place. But at the end of the day, according to the masses, her latest fit is not a good look.

As we all know, the lawyer-to-be is a repeat offender when it comes to accusations of cultural appropriation. However, that doesn't stop Kim from posting whatever she's feeling herself in, moment to moment. This time around, the mom-of-four has gotten herself into some very hot water over what she's seemingly repping on Twitter. See her striking a few poses below.

The issue most people seem to have is with Kim's face accessory, which appears to be a bindi. One Twitter user wrote in response, "I'm TIRED of y'all using our Indian/South-Asian as accessories. like is it that tough to leave our cultures alone???" And many in her replies section can't figure out what group she's intending to represent (or dismiss) through this fashion statement.

Another person replied, "If anyone is defending this bc she’s half armenian- (her dad was a third gen wealthy armenian) armenians don’t wear bindhis/bindhanis. not all brown people are allowed to wear the same things. we’re not all the same." A third said, "Culture vulture appropriating everything she sees, how very cute of you."

True to form, the SKIMS founder has not deleted the potentially appropriating post yet, continuing to own it.
