Kim Kardashian describes her daughter’s hair as a “wild afro” and of course, the internet reacts.

A few days ago Kim Kardashian-West was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Show, in which she affectionately–yet naively–referred to her biracial daughter North West’s hair as having “a crazy afro” in the morning. Fans and haters alike took to Twitter and Instagram to post their reactions to the comment. Critics found the word choice derogatory, while others commented in her defense, saying that all young children, whether their hair is straight or curly, can look “crazy” in the morning since toddlers often move around a lot in their sleep. What do you think of Kim’s comments?

From there, I am not sure what my hair will look like, but I am always open to change.”
