Kanye West likely expected cheers for his Yeezy Season 4 casting call, inviting models to "come as you are" to an open call in anticipation of his show on Wednesday. But two specific words in the casting call are getting jeers: "only" and "multiracial."

On Saturday, West tweeted a casting notice for his upcoming Adidas runway show. "Multiracial women only," it reads. "No makeup please come as you are."

West's use of "multiracial" raised eyebrows among Twitter users, who accused the rapper of excluding dark-skinned women.



As one NSFW tweet put it, "they want black features not black girls."



According to a report that assessed the diversity of Fall 2016 shows, West's runway featured 100 percent models of color, handily beating the rest of his fashion peers. However, as critics of his latest casting call explained, just because his runways are diverse doesn't mean they're necessarily inclusive.

Others joked about how exactly Kanye would verify applicants' "multiracial" status, short of ancestry data.

West's Yeezy Season 4 show will help kick off NYFW Wednesday.
