Scott Disick is under fire for a photo he shared on his Instagram of himself and her daughter Penelope Disick out to dinner. In the photo, Penelope is pulling her eyelids up and it’s causing quite a controversy.

“Tell her to stop being racist,” one Instagram user commented on the photo.
“Better teach your kid not to make eye thing with chopsticks,” another person commented.
“The problem that people have is this! They’re eating Asian food and holding chopsticks obviously and his daughter is trying to make fun of Chinese eyes! Look people! Tell your kids it’s not funny to be racist,” argued another user.

While other people are defending Penelope and saying she was pulling her eyelids up and not out thus making her eyes slanted. Slanted eyes is a racist stereotype toward Asian people and it racist. Gigi Hadid squinted her eyes to mock a Buddha cookie while at an Asian restaurant and has received immense backlash for her actions. She was denied access to Shanghai for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2017 and many believe it was because of her racist gesture. The model has since apologized for her actions.

One user commented, “Okay to start off she is just a child. Also she is pulling her eyelids up making her eyes BIGGER not smaller. If she was pulling her eyes to the side making her eyes smaller in reference to Asians than yes I can see people being offended. But because she’s at an Asian restaurant and making a silly face having to do with her eyes people just go to the extreme that it is racist.”
Other people are commenting on the photo saying Penelope is just a kid making a funny face and that’s all.
Scott has three kids with Kourtney Kardashian, Mason Disick, 9, Penelope, 6, and Reign, 4.
