Best Answer

Shirley Bassey's mother was a white woman from Yorkshire England, and her father was a black Nigerian seaman. Shirley is of "mixed-race" or "biracial". Biracial is, of course, such a politically correct term. While some people see the term "coloured" as offensive, it is not incorrect to call her "coloured". The same may be said of Barack Obama, who is coloured, and not black as he is commonly referred to.
