LOS ANGELES, Mar 17: Reality TV star Khloe Kardashian says she experienced racism because of her marriage to former NBA player Lamar Odom.
The 31-year-old “Keeping Up With The Kardashian” star said she “very much so” believes racism still exists, reported ET online.
“I was in an interracial marriage. I would never think to have to say, ‘Oh, by the way, my husband’s black, so when he comes in, don’t let your jaw drop.’ When I moved to Dallas was the first time that was thrown in my face,” Khloe said.
However, her now-estranged marriage was not the first time she experienced racism, it was when her dad, Robert Kardashian Sr, defended OJ Simpson during his double-murder trial. Khloe was 10 at the time.
“That was the first time I really experienced a ton of racism. We would get kicked out of restaurants, because my dad was defending OJ. Just really crazy things,” she said. (PTI)
