Gigi Hadid made a mistake that is not winning her any love from Zayn Malik fans.
While promoting her capsule collection with Tommy Hilfiger in Dubai, Hadid talked to the English-language Middle Eastern newspaper Gulf News about feeling a connection to her dad, who is Palestinian, whenever she travels to the Middle East.
"I especially love it when you meet other Arabs,” she said. “There’s such a sense of family regardless of whether you are blood-related or not anywhere in the world."
The model then talked about having this same connection with Malik. “My boyfriend is also half-Middle Eastern," she said. "It’s just a connection that you make that’s really cool. It’s hard to explain, but you feel like you’re amongst [your] people.”
The problem with this statement is, Malik is actually half-Pakistani and half-British. Pakistan is a South Asian country that shares a border with India, not a Middle Eastern one.
Not defending her but so many people think he's Middle Eastern in general. I think people have a blurred perspective of how people look like in the more Eastern areas of the world.
Wow, they have such a connection
