9 Black Celebs Who Do Not Identify as African American

6. Rashida Jones

Kidada Jones, Rashida’s sister, says that the actress used to pass for white in school. But Kidada was proud of her African-American heritage, and she didn’t want the kids at school to see their white mother. Kidada said, “I didn’t want my mother to come to my new school. If kids saw her, it would be: “your mom’s white!” I told Mom she couldn’t pick me up; she had to wait down the street in her car. Did Rashida have that problem? No! She passed for white.”
