“I’m Ethnic.”

More often than not, a child shares some degree of resemblance with their parents. Well, Rashida Jones is no exception to this notion. Daughter of well-known musician Quincy Jones and actress Peggy Lipton, Rashida has since had the chance to work on projects such as The Office, Parks and Recreation, The Social Network, and Toy Story 4.

Of course, like her colleagues, Rashida has been interviewed on the red carpet numerous times. One interaction worth noting, however, was during the 2015 SAG Awards. Upon seeing her in a lovely dress, the interviewer remarked how the actress-filmmaker looked great with a tan. With some sprinkle of humor, Rashida replied by saying she was ethnic, referring to her and her family’s mixed heritage. Despite the relatively awkward moment, it didn’t affect Rashida much, who then showcased more of her comedic chops when she presented an award during the event proper.
