Kim Kardashian Denies Cultural Appropriation And Blackfishing Allegations: ‘People Forget I Am Armenian Too’
While speaking with I-D magazine for her new cover story, Kim Kardashian looked back on being accused of cultural appropriation and blackfishing earlier this year.
During her chat, the 41-year-old said, “I would never intentionally try to appropriate the culture in that way.” She went on to explain, “Honestly, a lot of the time it comes from my daughter asking us to do matching hair. And I’ve had these conversations with her that are like, ‘Hey, maybe this hairstyle would be better on you and not on me. But I also want her to feel that I can do a hairstyle with her and not make it that big of a deal either if that’s something that she’s really asking for, and really wants,” the beauty mogul expressed.
The reality star added, “But then there’s also a history of braiding hair in Armenia, and people forget that I am Armenian as well,” she added.
During the interview, she also talked about how she stays positive and how it is “really important” for her to have “kindness”. “That’s actually one thing I’ve tried to impart to my kids too – I’ve tried to raise kind human beings. None of this matters. So treat everyone with respect and kindness. I think that’s just the goal, honestly.”
