Introduction: Reality TV star Khloรฉ Kardashian has recently come under fire for her Halloween costume, which has sparked accusations of "blackfishing." Fans and critics alike have raised concerns about her choice of skin tone, claiming that it perpetuates cultural appropriation and insensitivity. This controversy has reignited the ongoing debate surrounding the boundaries of costume choices and the importance of cultural understanding.


Discussion: Khloรฉ Kardashian, known for her appearances on the reality show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," dressed up as a Bratz doll for Halloween. While her choice of costume initially seemed harmless, it was her portrayal of a darker skin tone that drew criticism. Some argue that this amounts to "blackfishing," a term used to describe the act of non-Black individuals altering their appearance to appear Black or racially ambiguous.


The issue of cultural appropriation and insensitivity in costume choices has gained significant attention in recent years. The act of appropriating elements from a different culture without understanding its historical or social significance can perpetuate stereotypes and offend marginalized communities.
