Kardashian reveals 'ridiculous' abuse over mixed race relationship

Kim Kardashian tells Newsbeat about the abuse she gets for being in an interracial marriage.

The reality TV star who is married to Kanye West says it's "ridiculous" that their baby daughter has also been targeted.

"She was young enough to not know what was being said," Kim told us as she recalls one example of being verbally attacked.

"I was on a flight, it was a 12-hour flight and there was seven hours to go with someone saying insane things.

"The flight [officials] did their best to handle it. But you just have to take the high road.

"Especially being a mum, you can't react. You have to set the right example for your children."

Kim, 34, also revealed what job she'd be doing if she hadn't become a TV star.

The model and fashion designer would liked to have been a forensic investigator.

Kim Kardashian was speaking to Newsbeat's Nesta McGregor at the launch of her latest clothing range.
