As you might imagine, many social media users took to the comment section to voice their opinion on the photo.
“Why do you have to bring up the color of his skin? What’s the point of that?” Instagram user _monikitty wrote.
“You really are an angry immature person–when ever I listen to you I wonder what your parents think!!! Grow Up! [sic]” one user wrote.
Other Instagrammers recalled Lahren’s famous comment where she said that she doesn’t “see color.”
“Whatever happened to not seeing colour?” one person commented.

@TomiLahren if he is a true friend you wouldn’t have to include his color, Tammy. Don’t objectify someone and use them as a prop.
