Nigerian Actress Pepi Sonuga BLAST African Americans . . . For Making ‘MIXED’ Africans Like Her . . . ‘Feel Out Of Place’!! (How Is She ‘MIXED’ When Both Her Parents Are BLACK??)

April 23, 2017: A Nigerian-American actress Pepi Sonuga, who lives in Los Angeles, is making news – for making what many feel are derogatory comments about African Americans. Pepi, who refers to herself as “mixed” because her parents are from two different Nigerian tribes – Igbo and Yoruba, claims that African Americans don’t treat “mixed race” people well.
Here’s what she told Yahoo News:

In Nigeria, there is a long deep-rooted history of tribalism. So my parents being from two different tribes gave me an understanding and tolerance for people ‘on the outside,’ but also left me out a lot of times unable to truly categorize what side I belonged to.
Then when I came to America, I still didn’t fit in because there are on going prejudices within the African and African American community. AAs tend to view Africans as ‘the other.’ As a young child, this obviously confused and upset me because I didn’t understand why I wasn’t being accepted by people who looked just like me. . .
I feel like I never fit it in, in my life. It’s not like I was super popular back home. Mixed-race people, you wouldn’t think that’s a struggle, but they don’t fit in anywhere. It’s not a cool feeling to feel left out.

Here’s her bio from IMDB:
