Kim has been accused of appropriating various elements of other cultures, including by having box braids and referring to them as "Bo Derek braids."
She recently shared these photos on her Instagram of herself wearing a tikka.

A tikka, which you can see on Kim's forehead, is a piece of jewelry from India, frequently worn on important events, particularly by brides on their wedding day.
Fans were not happy with Kim wearing the jewelry from outside of her culture.

Fans were particularly not happy as Kim has, in the past, described Indian food as "disgusting," which they believe shows she does not have respect for the culture in general.
Others accused her of darkening her skin with makeup to achieve the look she has.
Others pointed out that Kim is half Armenian, although one fan tweeted, "For anyone saying this is an Armenian accessory. As an Armenian, it is NOT, it's not even close to anything Armenian."
What do you think?
Should fans be calling out Kim for appropriating from other cultures, or is Kim just trying to show appreciation for the culture and the jewelry? Let us know what you think in the comments!
