I'm always criticised by other Somalis and Muslims for what I'm doing as a model and married to a white man and all that.

I don't see a white woman. I see a black woman, even though my mother is white. Knowing that has made my life easier, I think.

I'm an African American.

Even though I'm Hispanic, I'm so white.

I'm Armenian, but I'm very fair and I look white... I would always get such hate about it.

What white woman, however lonely, was ever captive or insulted by me? Yet they say I am a bad Indian.

I don't have to be an imitation of a white woman that Hollywood sort of hoped I'd become. I'm me, and I'm like nobody else.

I look completely like my mum. She's very foreign, very Jewish.
