Viewed over 5 million times, the 6-second clip was flooded with angry reactions as netizens called out Kardashian for attempting to appear black. While some accused her of blackfishing — a term used to describe someone who pretends to be black or of mixed race on social media — others said that the socialite was in denial of her true colour.
Some also accused Kardashian of misleading people while promoting KKW make-up by comparing her hands — one with and one without make-up.
