The youngest of the Kardashian household Kylie Jenner, 24, is currently facing backlash from fans for naming one of her lip gloss shades from her Gloss Drip collection “Besitos” – which means “little kisses” in Spanish.
While talking about the lipgloss via a video clip she recently posted on her Instagram stories, she held it up to the camera and told fans: “This is the shade besitos.” The mother-of-two then pressed the lipgloss to her chest and squealed: “Besitos!!”
Kylie Jenner Accused Of Taking Out Of Hispanic Community
After releasing the video clip of her lipgloss which she calls “Besitos,” TikTok creator Emma Bruno took up the video and shared it on her own account while claiming that the product is “taking away from Latin owned companies”.
Bruno wrote: “The problem is not her speaking Spanish, it’s profiting off of the Hispanic community and taking away from Latin owned companies.”

A fan agreed, commenting: “Literal definition of cringe.”
Not long after Kylie was accused of “black fishing” in one of the photos the beauty mogul shared to promote her make-up line. Kardashian fans claimed the Hulu star had visibly darker skin in the shot, in which she showed off a deep tan and slicked-back hair. Unlike her older siblings, Kylie does not have Armenian heritage. She is Caitlyn and Kris Jenner’s second daughter.
Kylie was accused of blackfishing – which refers to someone pretending to be Black or mixed-race by using things like hair styling and make-up.
Kylie’s critics slammed her for her “disturbing” photo and claimed she’s “ripping off minorities.”
One wrote: “This is not okay… she is a white girl. This is blackfishing. I might not have actually known this was Kylie if it weren’t for this sub. Somebody stop her.”

Another added: “What kills me is the strategic planning of it all. An art director, make-up artist, and photographer all had a meeting and deliberately decided, ‘Ok we are going to try to make you look biracial/Latina, etc’ with this look. And then collective agreement!!”
A third posted: “She wants to be a non-white woman sooo badly it’s disturbing honestly.” Yet another user commented: “Finding another minority to rip off from.”
Kylie Jenner — Not The First Time Kylie Has Been Accused Of Blackfishing.
Back in October, Kylie and her sister Kendall were properly slammed by fans for showing off significantly darker skin in one of their Instagram Stories. Weeks later, Kylie was again sported in an olive complexion and tight black braid while filming herself in the car.
In April, Kylie and her sisters were accused of “extracting financial gain” from Black people in a scathing Los Angeles article. The reporter used a quote from Ren Ellis Neyra, a Wesleyan University associate professor of African American studies.
Ren wrote in the digital magazine Public Books: “The Kardashians are a prime example of multiracial white supremacy.
“A commercial enterprise posing as a family, the Kardashians are hell-bent on extracting financial gain from Black people and Black culture, even as they stigmatize, in particular, Black women through their project of multiracial whiteness.”
