Various members of the Duggar family have been called out for being culturally insensitive through the years, and it now it seems it's Jim Bob Duggar's turn. After he was seen wearing an offensive costume in a recent YouTube video shared by one of his kids, the former reality star is getting all kinds of backlash.

A vlog from the Duggars' holiday party is making the rounds again.
In the video, which Jed and Katey shared for their YouTube channel, the oversized family gathered at Jim Bob and Michelle's house for their annual ugly sweater party.
But instead of keeping with the theme, for some reason, Jim Bob decided to dress up in a different costume.
Jim Bob was supposedly dressed as a farmer.
His costume was confusing to say the least, though — he was wearing a shirt and tie, which isn't typically what most actual farmers wear on the job!
And then, there was the offensive part: Jim Bob accessorized his outfit with an "Amish" hat that Jed explained had been purchased by Katey's parents during a trip to Pennsylvania.
And this was after Jed laughed about wearing the hat himself in the beginning of the video, claiming that he was "returning Amish."
Critics are now calling Jim Bob out for the outfit.
As The Sun reported, critics on the Duggars Snark subreddit haven't wasted any time pointing out exactly how offensive Jim Bob's costume was when a screenshot from the video was posted this week.
"He’s so disrespectful," one commenter wrote.
Another person added, "I instinctively wanted to downvote this cause it’s so repulsive."

This is hardly the first time the Duggars have been accused of being culturally insensitive.
In fact, there are many times over the years that critics have called the Duggars racist. From their behavior on international trips to the politicians they support and the types of flags they fly outside their Arkansas home, however, they've never seemed to be too overly worried about what people who don't share their beliefs think about them.
This probably won't be a learning experience for Jim Bob.
But as someone who obviously holds his own religion in such high regard, we'd hope he'd understand that people who belong to other religions, including those who are Amish, feel the same way.
Sigh. Maybe next time, he'll do better — but we're not holding our breath.
