My little girl has convinced herself that her face is "hideous". Why? Because she has freckles. I tried to explain how freckles are cute, but she's not buying it from me.

OMG freckles are beautiful! (Says a freckled-faced lady) I saw I Love You, Man yesterday and just couldn't get over Rashida Jones' gorgeous freckled face on the big screen! [link]

Also, there's a model on ANTM this cycle with adorable freckles.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How white is Rashida Jones? Enough? More than Jennifer Lopez, say?

Last night Cold Case tried to convince me that Jonathon Schaech was black, and I just had to go with it. I prefer some visual leakage, like with Jennifer Beals. Hell, I thought his wife would have been more likely.

I'm not sure what you mean, exactly.

So that was the big secret? I watched only through the questioning of the wife's previous boyfriend and then got bored. Also, annoyed with the idea that suburbs were the risky new thing in 1958. Damnit, Levittown had been around for almost a decade by then!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am kind of fascinated that Rashida Jones is playing parts that are, if not white, at least not racially defined or discussed. I guess she's white enough that a lot of people don't know she's biracial...

Shit's all sorts of different now.

How white is Rashida Jones?

It appears half. Her mom is listed as being Irish and something else Caucasian, and Quincy Jones is listed as having an African-American family.

Her dad's black, but she seem casts as white. I mean, is she too white to be Will Smith's onscreen girlfriend? He tops out at Latina.

Pretty much. It kinda tied into why he died, but not how I'd have expected-- he was trying to integrate Libertyville, but the mortgage he approved for a black guy got cancelled and the black guy flipped.

Yeah, I've only seen her in parts where her race is never brought up.
