With festival season in full swing, famous people are stealing cultures left and right — despite being told, over and over again, that appropriation is never “appreciation.”  The latest famous person being dragged for cultural theft: Halsey. During a recent performance in New Zealand, she wore a questionable stage outfit that has all of Instagram speaking up. Halsey, who is a proud multiracial woman could’ve easily taken a note from her own identity, by wearing a look inspired by Black culture. She’s slayed many corn rows, head wraps, and hoop earrings! Hopefully Halsey’s future performance looks will be more thoughtful, and acknowledge her own rich culture! Maybe take a note from Beyoncé?
