Kendall Jenner photoshoot for Vogue magazine was labelled "Cultural Appropriation"

The supermodel Kendall Jenner has been attacked for the afro-like hairstyle in a photoshoot for Vogue magazine. Critics have found it offensive although that was not the intent. The hairstyle was supposed to embrace the big hair of the 60s and the early 70s but many argue they should have used a black model instead. I don't think this is cultural appropriation because it does resemble the hairstyle from the 20th century, which all women of all colors would wear.
