Americans knock Cosmopolitan for calling Kardashians The First Family

By Bisola Bello

To celebrate Cosmopolitan 50th anniversary, reality stars, Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney Kardashian, along with Kylie, Kendall, and Kris Jenner grace the cover of the magazine’s November issue.

Each dressed in a bright white Oxford shirt and no pants, the powerhouse family looked flawless on the spread as the magazine deemed them Americas First Family.

While the cover turned out beautifully, not everyone felt it was appropriate to tag them Americas First Family, a title officially meant for the Obamas.

Aggrieved fans took to Twitter to condemn Cosmopolitan’s choice of words with some labelling it racist.

This is the famous family’s second spread together since they appeared on the cover of Hollywood Reporter in 2011.

We’re so excited to reveal our November @Cosmopolitan cover in honor of Cosmo’s 50th birthday! Make sure to follow @Cosmopolitan for behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot and look for the issue everywhere in stores next week!

Some are missing the point. Cosmo's cover is incredibly disrespectful toward the Obamas and smacks of white privilege.#AmericasFirstFamily

If the Kardashian/Jenner's are what is representing America then we're really screwed. #AmericasFirstFamily
