Celeb News: Kim Kardashian on interracial relationships

Joyride

Quote:

Prior to her marriage to West, Kardashian had been involved in several interracial relationships, one of which was with the late Michael Jackson's nephew, TJ. Kardashian told the magazine that her father, Rob Kardashian, "explained to me that he's had a lot of interracial friends, and it might not be the easiest relationship. He said I should prepare myself for people to say things to me. . . When I was in high school, I'd get magazines and see interracial couples and think, 'They are so cute.' I've always been attracted to a certain kind of look."

These comments are fairly troubling, as it raises issues of stereotyping and reducing interracial relationships to ones that are based merely on physical looks and attributes. It reveals the problematic way many people approach the topic of interracial dating that leads to an exoticization and fetishizing of the "other," "foreign" race, pushing it further into marginalization and objectification.

Kimberly.

Kim Kardashian

So she has a type

Nothing wrong with that (ruling out a specific race however is wrong tho).
She's so sweet she really wouldn't say anything bad intentionally.

Don't really like the way she worded that but she's just saying she's attracted to black men...we all have our preferences

ArianaStan

not here for people trying to somehow twist these comments from years ago into Kim being racist and hating black people, as if she's not married to and has a black daughter. Don't let tumblr get a hold of this

I don't think there's anything wrong with having a race type/preference as many people do, I personally don't, but I can see how it comes across as offensive when people actively seek out someone of a certain race almost as an object and like them solely on their colour...like when anyone says Lil Wayne is hot, its a bold faced lie they just want him because he's black.

Right? I mean, everyone has preferences. Dragging her just for the sake of dragging her, pathetic.

Y'all know she's vapid.

She obviously didn't mean anything offensive, anyone pretending she did is just being hateful.

Rihinvention

Black guys are hot and if that makes me racist then idgaf. I'm racist.

its_britney_bitch

Oh y'all looking for a reason to drag her as usual. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it, I share her opinion, black guys are usually the hottest imo

Mr.Rager

i prefer black 2.

does that make me a racist mexican? no.

doesn't make her a racist armenian.
her color skin does, according 2 america.

smh..

Toya

God can Nylon shut the hell up. They're offended by EVERYTHING.

I don't even really like the woman but all she said here was that she's attracted to a certain kind of look. Aren't most of us? It's called preference and there's nothing wrong with it.

urgh they are actually reaching for the stars, if it were anyone else who said it, everyone would have gone oh yeah I know what you mean lol (I also feel like the writer tries to use a lot of big words in an attempt to sound intellectual; saying interracial couples look cute is not marginalization lol)

Bulldog

Oh Kimberely.

She means well no need to drag her.

GOOD-BYE

I don't even like Kim that much but just because someone is attracted to a certain race physically doesn't mean they're marginalizing them.

With this logic, everyone should just get together with someone from the same race, now THAT is marginalizing. What a dumbass person who wrote this.

Giselle

Wow, she thought interracial relationships were cute in High School
