A Letter to Kylie Jenner

You're wearing camo, but we see you.

Kylie Jenner, welcome to your blog post/letter.

(Forgive me, I have just binged 13 Reasons Why and Kylie, with your mass influence, are a reason for cultural appropriation still being a thing.)

Loving to hate you is a thing. You're enviable on many, many fronts. Your brand is flourishing and you live your life to the fullest. I can't hate you (or your sister, Kendall). I, more than anything, admire how much the both of you have achieved.

Unfortunately, the two of you display unbelievable levels of cultural ignorance - but by now, you honestly should know how not to be culturally insensitive - yet you persist.

The issue of today is your latest ad, featuring you in a Camo Bikini, now on sale in your store. It looks amazing by the way.

As you may have already noticed, twitter put you on blast for it. Don't worry if haven't seen it yet - I got you.

I feel for you. This is kind of not your fault because Perez Hilton made this tweet, but it's been a day and you've not made a statement or something to acknowledge that it has been done before by lest we forget - Destiny's Child.

You cannot let this blow over the way Kendall did with Pepsi.

You know you will profit heavily from an idea which has for long existed in the African American communities. You have a responsibility to remove credit from yourself and give it where it is due, or do we again have to wait for another black person's idea to have a white mascot before it can become fashionable. This is not your trend. You have a history of this - exhibit A & B (also have receipts). This is not the first time you're being called out - but it should be the last.

Perez, I see you too. You have seen gay culture being appropriated, you cannot be party to black culture being appropriated too. Stop it.

There is not nearly enough camo in that bikini to make this situation invisible to you. Fix it.
