Richard Ayoade talks to Vulture
Vulture: There’s been some curiosity about your ethnicity. Your mother is Norwegian and your father is Nigerian?
RA: Yes. Now people can apply the precise racial [formula] to me, which is good.
Vulture: Did that lead to any racial-identity issues growing up?
RA: I tend to stick to Norwegian-Nigerians. I don’t go outside that group.
