Supermodel Kendall Jenner&nbsp;recently announced the launch of her own brand of tequila on Instagram. 'For almost 4 years I&rsquo;ve been on a journey to create the best-tasting tequila,' the fashion it-girl wrote in a post.
But not everyone is pleased with Jenner's 818 Tequila. The Kardashian&nbsp;sister has been accused of exploiting Mexican culture for personal profit by people on social media.
'Tequila production is traditionally a family business in Mexico. I think it&rsquo;s disgusting that another rich white celeb is appropriating Mexican culture,' reads one of the comments on Kendall's post.
While others were just amused that Jenner&nbsp;still doesn't know how to drink tequila properly. "It took her 4 years to create a &ldquo;good tequila&rdquo; and then she proceeds to drink it with ice," one comment read.
