Kendall Jenner has landed herself in some hot water with Twitter users and the reason why might surprise you.
The Kardashian/Jenner clan recently came together to pose for a spread and stunning cover for The Hollywood Reporter but when Kendall shared the cover image on Twitter, people weren’t too impressed.
The caption for said tweet reads: “girl power…sister power” but it’s the accompanying emoji that has people up in arms.

Model Kendall chose the fist bump emoji, no problems there, but it’s the colour of said emoji that’s getting on people’s nerves.
As emojis fans are aware, there are a few options to choose from when it comes to certain emojis and in this instance, Kendall chose the third colour option for the fistbump one, which has been referred to as ‘tan’ or ‘medium’.
However, people were quick to comment on her choice, saying that this option wasn’t reflective of her skin tone and she should have used a lighter option.

While some people have taken offence to Kendall’s tweet, others think it’s a small thing to be getting worked up about and have pointed out there are far more important things to be worried about.
