Kim Kardashian Details Racism Against North West on 'KUWTK'

Kim Kardashian will detail her experience with racism toward her daughter North West and husband Kanye West in an upcoming episode of her E! reality television show.

While the 33-year-old "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star calls motherhood a beautiful experience, she and her mother revealed a racist experience they encountered in the first class cabin of an airplane while on their show.

"I fell asleep, I woke up to this woman screaming, 'Kanye West's baby,'" Kim recalled to her sister Khloe Kardashian on the show. "The woman is screaming at my child, I jump up."

Kris Jenner, the 58-year-old Kardashian matriarch, accompanied Kim on the airplane where she had a negative experience. She recalled the harsh words spoken by another passenger aimed at Kim, her husband and bi-racial daughter.

"This lady stood up in the cabin in first class and yelled at the top of her lungs, 'she's with a black guy, and that baby is black, and you need to shut that black baby up,'" Jenner recalled in a preview of their show's upcoming episode.

In an essay titled "On My Mind," Kardashian spoke about her experiences with racism earlier this year.

"To be honest, before I had North, I never really gave racism or discrimination a lot of thought. It is obviously a topic that Kanye is passionate about, but I guess it was easier for me to believe that it was someone else's battle," she previously wrote on Celeb Buzz. "But recently, I've read and personally experienced some incidents that have sickened me and made me take notice. I realize that racism and discrimination are still alive, and just as hateful and deadly as they ever have been."

Instead of just complaining about matters, Kardashian says she feels compelled to take action.

"I feel a responsibility as a mother, a public figure, a human being, to do what I can to make sure that not only my child, but all children, don't have to grow up in a world where they are judged by the color of their skin, or their gender, or their sexual orientation," she wrote. "I want my daughter growing up in a world where love for one another is the most important thing."
