Only hours after Justin Timberlake was accused of appropriating black culture, Vanessa Hudgens has been accused of appropriating Native American culture. The High School Musical alum showed off her naturally curly locks and accessories in a shoot, but fans are upset about one look in particular. In one photo, Hudgens wears a dreamcatcher in her hair, but fans took to the comments to express how upset they are because they believe she’s appropriating Native American culture.”Why are you like this???” one user commented. “You constantly go out of your way to disrespect cultures to look ~boho. It’s rude as ****. Don’t put dreamcatchers in your hair! That you have to constantly be told not to do this and dragged means you are not listening and it’s frustrating af!! Although the photo upset many of her followers, others commented how beautiful she looked and how jealous they were of her hair. Hudgens has experience backlash from her festival fashion choices before, especially when Coachella rolls around. In April 2014, the Grease: Live! star shared a photo that showed dust lines from her bindi. “Do you even know the significance of a bindi in Hinduism/ Indian Culture?” one user asked. Another user added, “If you stopped with the cultural appropriation it would be all fine.”
