Critics are calling Blake Lively a racist because she posted a photo of her butt.
The 28-year-old actress, who is pregnant with her second child, shared a shot of her backside with her eight million followers on Instagram this week, but her caption has people fuming.
“L.A. face with an Oakland booty,” Lively captioned the photo. (RELATED: Blake Lively’s Fans Were Stunned When She Showed Up Wearing This)
The lyrics are from a line in Sir Mix-A-Lot’s 1992 song “Baby Got Back,” but that didn’t stop people from criticizing her for being “racist.”

I want to follow Blake Lively just to unfollow after this LA/Oakland business. So much privilege even GOOP feels uncomfortable.

With how gentrified Oakland has become, Blake Lively kind of does have an LA face with an Oakland booty.
