<p>Kim Kardashian has done it again. The reality tv star has found herself embroiled in yet another controversy- this time the South Asian is calling her out for cultural appropriation.<br />
<br />
Kardashian recently posted a photo dressed in a crop top and skirt. To accessorize, she wore gold bangles and a <em>maang tika</em>, a traditional hair accessory commonly worn by women in India and Pakistan.<br />
<br />
Several accused her of using tradition as a prop. "As being someone who comes from a South Asian background seeing Kim Kardashian wearing a TIKKA pisses me off. My culture isn’t your “aesthetic” or “style” so please show some respect and not use it for you to model in.&nbsp; Cultural appropriation is not okay," wrote a user.</p>

This isn't the first time that Kardashian has been accused of cultural appropriation. In 2019, she was trolled for wearing a <em>maang tika</em> to a church service. Then when she had launched her <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/kim-kardashians-shapewear-label-kimono-sparks-outrage-japanese-women-find-it-offensive-230788">shapewear line and named it 'Kimono'</a>, Japenese women had criticised her claiming that a traditional Kimono is not an innerwear.</p>
