i've known of her since 2009 I Love You, Man. for the past six years, every time i saw her, i never connected that she was biracial. the thought never even crossed my mind.

I was almost done Parks and Rec when I found out (ended up Googling it after hearing Leslie calling mentioning her "ambiguous" race on the show a few times). She has "white" features/hair, but with her name being Rashida and her olive skin, I had assumed one of parents was arab and the other caucasian.

Quincy Jones is not half white. He has some European heritage further backbut he is not half white. He had no parent that was 100% white. It was either one of his parents or a grandparent that was biracial. That is a difference.

She looks white but her dark skin had me wondering if she was part latino or something. Quincy Jones is half white himself so its why she doesn't look that african.

That's true but there are not many Arab AMERICAN women with that name. In America is way more common for black women to have that name. e.g Terrance is a very white common European name, but in America is almost exclusively black.

well, Rashida is an Arabic name, so that does not automatically leads to think Rashida is not white.
People with the name Rashida can be white too.

Lots of people are mixed or biracial. Samantha Barks, Slash, Nicole Richie, Rashida Jones, Troian Bellisario, Wentworth Miller, Jennifer Beals, Tom Morello, Frank Dillane, Brady Quinn, Gabrielle Reece, Rebecca Hall, Jessica Szohr, Pete Wentz, Carol Channing, Adriana Lima, Victoria Rowell's daughter Maya Fahey, Eartha Kitt's daughter Kitt Shapiro (ne McDonald), and Donna Summer's daughter Mimi are all "mixed raced" individuals.

That's one of the most annoying replies when somebody just expresses an opinion. "Why do you care" "w238hy doesn it matter?" "what difference does it make?" Like, people just can't express an opinion and that's it?

I know right, this is a discussion board. I was discussing my personal thoughts about this actress. People get so offended at the stupidest things, holy cow.

Why would it, and why does it even matter.
