Keeping up with the Kardashian's


I know what you are thinking someone actually watches that show or maybe your think I'm not the only one who does. Well I have to admit I do watch Keeping up with the Kardashians. This show just flat out makes me laugh. Also I have just realized the Kardashians are "chalked full," of interracial dating.
The reality show itself films the lives of the Kardashian and Jenner household. Kris and Bruce Jenner have eight children and two of the children together, Kendell and Kylie. Kris has Kourtney, Kim, Khole and Robert with the late Robert Kardashian and Bruce has Brody and Brandon from a previous marriage.
Now about the children the Kardashians themselves are half Armenian and then you have their significant others. Kourtney is dating a man named Scott and he is Caucasian. Then you have Robert who is with Adrienne (from the Cheetah Girls) and she is Puerto Rican. Oh and you can’t forget Kim she has been married before to a man named Damon Thomas who was a music producer and he is African American. Kim is currently dating Reggie Bush a NFL Player who is also African American.
Interracial dating is not new to me, well I say this because my mom is Native American and my dad is German. Also my husband’s background is diverse as well he is half African American and half Native American. To me dating Nick was not uncommon. I guess this is because I’ve been around interracial dating and marries my whole life.
I think this is why I haven’t paid attention to the interracial dating on the Kardashians. The show doesn’t bring up the fact that they are in interracial relationships but they do talk about being of Armenian decent. I think that as each generation grows up there are lots of changes that come along with that. Our generation does not seem to be stuck on the fact of only dating within our own ethnicity but dating someone for the person they are.
