As/Is·Posted on Dec 29, 201519 Times Pop Culture Was Embarrassingly Offensive In 2015Nope, glittery blackface is still not OK.by Essence GantBuzzFeed StaffLinkFacebookPinterestTwitterMail 1. When Vogue Italia styled Gigi Hadid in this blue Afro on its cover. 2. And when they did this spread of her looking black because all the black models were off that day? the real 6 goddess @feminismarchive Hey! Here's an idea: instead of putting an afro on Gigi Hadid, why not just HIRE A BLACK MODEL instead? 😊 01:10 PM - 11 Nov 2015 Reply Retweet Favorite Gigi Hadid News @GigiHadidsNews Gigi Hadid for Vogue Italia 02:46 PM - 10 Nov 2015 Reply Retweet Favorite 3. When somebody at Allure was like, "YES! This is an AWESOME idea!" 4. When Dsquared2 got "inspired" by Native American culture and presented the "Dsquaw" collection. 5. And when Junya Watanabe paid homage to Africa with locs, cornrows, prints, and Masai collars... Except he kinda didn't because the models were a bunch of white guys. 6. When Cosmo seemingly forgot that America has a first family and this DEF ain't it. 7. And when they used women of color only to show dead beauty trends and used all white women for "gorgeous" beauty trends. OA MaSibanda @MaS1banda In dishing out advice, Cosmo not-so-subtly tells readers "paler is better" http://t.co/SYuThZ9fsn 😕 05:02 PM - 01 Apr 2015 Reply Retweet Favorite 8. But then when they "fixed" it by eliminating almost all the women of color and still used only white women to demonstrate acceptable trends. 9. When Valentino debuted its "primitive, tribal, spiritual, yet regal" spring '16 collection to portray "wild Africa." Because nothing says Africa like lots and lots of white girls rockin' cornrows and bone jewelry! 10. Can't forget Claudio Cutugno and the blackface, but with glitter 'cause that makes it better. 11. When Kylie decided to try cornrows... 12. And locs... 13. Which she also wore for Teen Vogue.

When our whole lives we thought these were Bantu knots, but really they're "mini-buns." View this photo on Instagram 16. When Elle Canada put everyone on the new dashiki trend, except dashikis aren't new or an "it-item." 17. When Givenchy fused Latina culture into its "Victorian Cholas"–inspired fall collection. 18. When European fashion house Kokon To Zai designed this beautiful "double hands faux fur patchwork" sweater... But actually didn't because an Inuk shaman made the design in the early 1920s as a form of spiritual protection. 19. And these locs and lots of other stuff Miley Cyrus did in the Twenty-Fifteen. ebon @tyriquex Miley Cyrus's whole life is culture appropriation so I'm not even surprised she is wearing dreads to the VMAs. 12:14 AM - 31 Aug 2015 Reply Retweet Favorite If there's one lesson to take away in the new year, it's STOP USING YOUR PRIVILEGE TO BE DOUCHEY!
