Keeping up with the Kardashians' cultural appropriation scandals is getting exhausting... Kim's currently in hot water for braiding her hair into cornrows.

It might not have been a big deal, had she not credited them to a white woman. On her Snap story, Kim showed off her hairstyle, saying: "So guys, I did Bo Derrek braids and I'm really into it."

We'll save you a trip to Google: in the 1970s movie 10, actress Bo Derek famously wore her blonde hair in beaded cornrows.

To be fair, their braided styles are almost identical and they do have the whole ~blonde~ thing going on. But to be even fair-er, people of colour were rocking this exact hairstyle looooong before Bo Derek was even born.

People on Twitter are now bashing Kim for not giving proper credit to a hairstyle literally laced with black culture.

Kim hasn't yet commented on the controversy.
