/// Claiming that the star was ignoring the struggles facing black communities, one critic told her: ‘You take what you like from us but don’t get the pain that went with it.’ ///
/// ‘Let me guess,’ another wrote. ‘You only did that because you were in Jamaica?’ Another user claimed corn rows should only be worn by black people, telling the star: ‘You ain’t black lol.’ ///
Does this type of attitude encourage racial harmony?

No AOG - the people complaining are not saying it's racist. They're complaining about cultural appropriation.
However, it should be noted that for every one posting negative comments on Instagram, you will also get hundreds posting positive comments.
So perhaps we shouldn't allow ourselves to be swept up in all this because there will always be a minority of people whose views don't chime with the majority.

Utter nonsense.
Black people do not have the monopoly on any particular hair style and nor does any other race. Many black women that I know straighten their hair. This is clearly a “cultural misappropriation” visited on non-black people. But I don’t hear any idiots bleating on about it. Similarly I didn’t hear anybody complain when Michael Jackson spent a fortune bleaching his skin and having his nose planed down.

It gets worse it is not only the white female in fault white males also come in for criticism.

Fabulous - people taking it upon themselves to assault strangers for the crime of 'cultural appropriation'.
For the record, dreadlocks are a hairstyle worn by followers of the Rastafarian faith, who are forbidden to cut or comb their hair.
On a white man, that's just hair braids - and he's perfectly right, he doesn't need a stranger's disrespect, much less her physical aggression. Probably the person filming didn't need it either!

You might not have, but just about everyone who knew of him did.
Literally it was one of the top three things that people referred to, when talking about Michael Jackson in the 90s. And he was heavily criticised about it.

zebo - It is, but people with too much time on their hands don't seem to find the need to get chippy about something that is made up in order to feel important, in the way that they do when they can add the notion of it happening to a section of the human race to whom they can attribute bad treatment anyway, and make out that this just makes it worse.
I thought this story was somewhat overblown. Daisy probably follows Alice Eve on instagram and saw an opportunity to sell a bit of nonsense to the Mail on Sunday.
