Söngkonan Adele var sökuð um menningarnám (e. cultural appropriation) eftir að hún deildi mynd á Instagram þar sem hún klæddist bikinítopp merktum jamaíska fánanum. Hún var einnig með svokallaða bantu-snúða í hárinu og fjaðrir á öxlunum.
Adele birti myndina í tilefni Notting Hill Carnival hátíðarinnar, sem var færð yfir á netið í ár. Þetta er í fyrsta sinn í 54 ár sem hátíðin verður ekki haldin með hefðbundnu sniði. Hátíðin er haldin til að fagna menningu svartra og annars litaðs fólks frá Karabíahafinu.
Söngkonan sætir nú harðri gagnrýni vegna myndbirtingarinnar. The Sun greinir frá.
Einn aðdáandi hennar skrifaði: „Ég er hætt að fylgja þér. Þetta er ekki krúttlegt.“

If 2020 couldn’t get anymore bizarre, Adele is giving us Bantu knots and cultural appropriation that nobody asked for.
This officially marks all of the top white women in pop as problematic.
Hate to see it. pic.twitter.com/N9CqPqh7GX

Fjöldi fólks hefur komið Adele til varnar og bent á að svona klæðast venjulega konur á hátíðinni.

Let me explain something to the Yankees. We Jamaican wear our flag as clothes, use our flag as head wrap. As long as you not stomping or burning our flag it’s all good. You can buy that same top at any store in JA. So stop feeling offended for us. Okay. #adele pic.twitter.com/xghS4dpRmk

Anyone who has ever been to carnival will know that this is how nearly every woman there dresses. Carnival is about celebrating a culture.This pic of #Adele is nothing more than that.Stop trying to cancel everyone when all they are doing is cultural appreciation not appropriation pic.twitter.com/PE8RMQWGB6

Americans can be problematic.
1. She’s celebrating a Caribbean festival which has no connection to Black American culture in any way.
2. She’s wearing Bantu Knots an obviously African hairstyle.
I really don’t understand why they are crying more than the ‘bereaved’.#Adele https://t.co/mzY2aBMBBC
