“‘IndianAmericans are impacted since US is a mix of cultures/races & it’s offensive here in the US to copy other minorities culture (India, Japan, Africa, etc) for fashion sake & w/o giving due credit to their cultures/religion (cultural appropriation).

Their voice matters here.”

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star posted new photos on Instagram where she wore Hindu inspired earrings with Om.

Om is the sacred symbol of Hinduism and has been popular in America for decades due to cultural traditions related to Hinduism like, Yoga.

The cultural traditon has however become increasingly popular since the adoption by the Eastern world.

What appears to get more fans pissed off, was her non-acknowledgement and credit. While this seems to generate some controversies, other fans actively supported her.

Some of the fans claimed her act was in fact, promoting the culture and shedding light on it.

Another Twitter user wrote:
“Beautiful dear KimKardashan….. I am Hindu. We always put on necklace, chain, wrist bands carved with Hindu deities, such as.. Lord Ganesh, Maa Durga, Lord Hanuman and many other Hindu Gods. By this u have shown that u respect all religions. Congrats dear Kim.”

However, Kim Kardashian is not a stranger to such backlash.
