She appropriated black culture by getting cornrows 

-Then, Amandla Stenberg commented on the picture she posted saying, “

when u appropriate black features and culture but fail to use ur position of power to help black Americans by directing attention towards your ur wigs instead of police brutality or racism #whitegirlsdoitbetter”. Kylie responded, “

Mad if I don’t, Mad if I do…. Go hang w Jaden or something”

Took part in blackface  

Appropriated black culture again by getting dreads for a teen vogue shoot  (x)

-Put the n word on a cake using frosting to wish her friend Jordy a happy birthday

-Wore Henna

Is currently dating Tyga and has been since she was underage (he is 25, she’s now 18)

-Used a wheelchair in a photo shoot as a “trend”.

Director of Disability for Models of Diversity, a campaign calling for more diversity in the modeling industry, says, “

It’s very bad taste that it’s deemed ‘artistic’ to place a celebrity figure in the position of a disabled person in an editorial sense,” However in reality, the fashion industry shuns actual models who in real life, depend on these mobility aids, yet are excluded for this exact reason. “

I’ll add on to this since I highly doubt she’s done being problematic.

I also forgot to add that she has worn a bindi quite a few times, but this was the only picture I could find.

I stumbled across this post entirely by accident and I know it was made two years ago, but I’d really like an explanation as to how her being taken advantage of by an older, predatory man qualifies as her being problematic.
