YouTuber Patrick Starrr sorry for 'cultural appropriation' after wearing afro wig
- Published
YouTuber Patrick Starrr has apologised for "offending anyone with my hairstyle" after he went to a party in an afro wig.
The apology comes after some social media users accused him of cultural appropriation.
The make-up vlogger, who is of Filipino descent, said he was "not in any way claiming to be black".
He says he got consent from Jackie Aina, who is black, to wear the outfit to her party.
Patrick Starrr, who has 2.8 million subscribers to his channel, was celebrating the birthday of fellow YouTuber Jackie Aina.
Although he claims she was OK with him wearing the afro wig, Jackie's Twitter feed seems to tell a different story.
Patrick Starrr has done make-up tutorials with the likes of Katy Perry, Kim Kardashian and Jessie J.
This isn't the first time he has posted pictures of himself in an afro wig.
Jackie Aina, who is also a make-up vlogger, has spoken about cultural appropriation before, after a Marc Jacobs show.
At New York Fashion Week last year, the fashion designer used predominantly white models in dreadlocks to model his clothes.
Jackie Aina responded in a saying: "I'm not triggered when I see someone who is not of colour wearing locks."
Her issue was that Jacobs' group of models wasn't inclusive enough, and that his response was unsatisfactory.
