Reality tv star cum actress, Venita Akpofure has refuted claims made by a Twitter user that she is ‘half-caste’.
Venita reacted strongly to the claims made by the Twitter user saying it is politically incorrect and derogatory to describe her as half-caste because she is not what they claim she is.
According to her, the correct word to be used to describe her is ‘bi-racial’ which she isn’t any of that race too. She described her father as ‘bi-racial’ while her mother is a Nigerian. In light of this, she sees herself as a full-blooded Nigerian like her mother but of European descent.

I’m not “half-caste” that is politically incorrect and derogatory slur in these day and times. The correct term is bi-racial and no I’m NOT bi racial. My father is bi racial and my mother full Nigerian. https://t.co/7heVjAKcct
