Everyone’s dream ‘pillowtalk’ wala, Pakistani Zayn Malik remains forever the unspeaking, introverted rock star who takes to social media with as minimalistic a tone as possible, be it at most a few odd words thrown in here or there. The artist was recently subjected to global negative press along with girlfriend Gigi Hadid for incorrectly representing the gender fluid community. More recently the singer was subject to a few racist remarks, but his loyal fans sturdily stood ground and defended their favorite musician.
Zayn took to Instagram to showcase his latest photo shoot, with his usual minimalistic caption to accompany it
A few Instagram users commented under Zayn’s post with a racist remark

Many came to the singer’s defense and stated how being a Pakistani doesn’t relay into being a terrorist
