Kanye West's daughter North sparks controversy with hoodie that draws parallel to Ku Klux Klan symbolism
Netizens point out racist connotations in North's attire from Kanye's Season 9 collection
Kanye West is receiving criticism once more, this time for dressing his 10-year-old daughter, North, in clothes that some people find racist.
Recent photos showed North wearing an unreleased white zip-up hoodie with a pointed hood that covers her face and has small eye holes.
The hoodie is part of Kanye's Yeezy season 9 collection.
The pointed shape at the top of the hoodie and the focus on covering the face and seeking anonymity were parallel to the Ku Klux Klan.
Netizens immediately pointed out that the dress was racist as it looked like a white Ku Klux Klan hood, Ku Klux Klan is a white supremacist group.
Hooded jumpers and full-body covering morph suits were included in the season 9 drops that happened in October last year (2022).
Taking to Reddit, netizens have expressed their concerns over rapper Kanye indulging her daughter in racist activities, reports Mirror.
One fan expressed that it makes him angry seeing North wearing the hoodie resembling the Ku Klux Klan and doesn't know the disdain of it.
They expressed that if the colour of the hoodie was different then they would have felt differently.
A white hoodie with a face covering is considered to be a standard dress for white supremacist group members.
Some of the fans expressed concerns for the safety of North as she might be facing backlash for the rest of her life due to this picture as it is to stay on the internet forever.
