The Kardashians and their culturally appropriating ways have always been hella problematic. So the internet was none too pleased when Khloe Kardashian was captured during a photo shoot literally looking down on Black fashion model Slick Woods.

The photo, which was posted to social media on Friday, was part of an advertising campaign for the Kardashians’ clothing line Good American Outfits. While the other flicks from campaign were appropriate–and frankly, stunning–this one in particular caused a stir.
Some viewers thought the picture was downright racist.

Others were simply disappointed the model went from being one of the stunning faces of Rihanna’s Fenty beauty line to modeling for the Kardashian.
I hope Rihanna snatches slick woods from the website pic.twitter.com/NIjxzXZSWq

Another day, another poorly thought-out Kardashian venture.
