Khloe Kardashian has said her family became victims of racism while her father Robert Kardashian defended O.J. Simpson.
Speaking on her Kocktails With Khloe chat show on Wednesday, the reality star revealed that she first learned about the ugliness of prejudice when her dad represented the black sports star in his infamous 1995 trial.
'That, for the first time, was when I experienced a ton of racism,' she insisted on her show, which ended with her playing an intimate game with her guests of grabbing an orange between your chin and chest.
'We would get kicked out of restaurants because my dad was defending O.J. Just really crazy things. It was really intense and as kids you don't understand,' she said.
The star, wearing a risqué dress completely split in the middle, said the intense experience made her family extremely PC with how they referred to anyone else, explaining: 'In my household I was never allowed to describe a person by their weight or color. I would have to give a personal characteristic
'Like 'the chubby girl' - I could never say that. My dad was super strict about that.
'But yeah, racism is real,' she added.
She said it became an issue again for her during her marriage to sports star Lamar Odom, saying: 'I would never have to 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 that was thrown in my face,' she added.
And she said those experiences make her extra happy that she has such a mixed raced family, mentioning Saint and North, sister Kim Kardashian's children with Kanye West.
