Over the weekend, Kylie Jenner attracted a lot of criticism after sharing a pic on Instagram sporting cornrows. The controversial photo quickly gained the attention of Hunger Games actress Amandla Stenberg, who called out the 17-year-old for appropriating black features, while disregarding the current race issues in America.

After the photo garnered over 100,000 comments of mixed reactions, Justin Bieber decided to show his support for Jenner. He thinks the fact that people find Jenner's braided hair racist ridiculous, saying she is just trying to figure it out. 

 If anyone can relate to being scrutinized for their life choices it is definitely Bieber, who has been no stranger to controversy himself. While he does make a valid point that we should do something about equality, this probably isn't the type constructive discourse Stenberg was hoping to start.
