The former One Direction star said the model "likes Asians" and that to be a racist goes against his "very existence".

Fans weren't pleased after the clip was shared online.
Zayn insisted that Hadid "likes Asians", reports mirror.co.uk.
One fan tweeted to the singer, saying: "Being of Asian descent, how do you feel about your girlfriend making fun of Asian people?"
"Trust me... she likes Asians," the singer wrote back.
And he added: "People's nerve to call me ignorant, when any chance they get I'm a terrorist! To be a racist goes against my very existence. So, please don't try to educate me."
