Cultural appropriation just won't stop. In a recent viral video, the odious practice was combined with a gross waste of good produce.
In an Instagram video composed of equal amounts of funny and fail, a white girl attempted to create a hair tutorial trying to teach folks how to do cornrows.
Yes, cornrows.
What truly makes the video prime content, however, is the fact it is embedded in a reaction video featuring a Nigerian daughter along with her Baba (father) who helpfully and hilariously provide non-verbal commentary to each frame.
In the video, the white girl parts her hair to start the braiding process, and it looks like your typical culturally appropriated nonsense until —
She. Takes. Out. A. Bag. Of. Corn.
For… what?
To thread between her braids, of course. Because corn-rows. Get it?
The father-daughter pair are at a loss for words as they watch this Becky make an entire fool of herself while blatantly disrespecting each of the ancestors by trying to turn a historically black hairstyle into a so-so side dish at the cookout.
The fact Baba and daughter don't say anything doesn't matter: we can see it all in their eyes. 'Nuff said.
And when Baba took off his sunglasses to put on his eyeglasses, though!
The white girl concludes her "tutorial" by modeling her new look on a balcony like she really did something. Oh, it's something alright.
Please stop forever.
