American TV personality, Kim Kardashian West, recently found herself in soup after she posted a video of her OOTD on social media. In the short clip, Kim could be seen dressed in a tan leather jacket and pants, pretty much recreating the retro look.
As a routine, she also tanned her face to look a little darker than her own skin tone. However, she missed matching her hand to her face color and they appear to be much lighter-toned than the rest of her body. And that immediately caught the attention of people online.

Commenting on how her hand looked ‘unnaturally pale’, people accused her of ‘blackfishing’. For the uninitiated, ‘blackfishing’ is the new social media term used for people altering their skin tone (using various methods like makeup, surgery, etc.) to look darker, black, or mixed.
Take a look at how people reacted to her video:

Everybody I know likes a tan including myself. Why all the hate on color tone on someone else’s skin?!! Everybody is equal in the eyes of god. Color does not matter. Like Martin Luther said the quality of one’s character is what’s important.
