Khloe faced racism because of her marriage to Lamar Odom

Los Angeles, Mar 17 (PTI) 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.
