He's overthinking this and I like Rashida Jones. It's 2025 and some people still don't know that the Affordable Care Act is Obamacare. I'm sure she has stories of racist things that she has heard because they thought she was white. Makeup makes a difference in her appearance too.

Didn't know about that Bliss book though. I will have to read that.

Ehh some liberties being taken here. :patrice:

  1. That lady in sinners is like 10% black, so she shouldn't be used as any barometer for blackness.
  2. If you are only 25% black or less, you are not white passing- you are white. We are done with the one drop rule.
  3. Rashida can and has easily slot into both roles, yet chooses to play the white role more often than not. I think this clearly indicates that she is white passing.

Agreed.


Rashida isn’t White passing per sè; like someone like Megan Markle is lighter than her.
But with both of them the first thing one might look at them and say is “what are you?”
