Rashida Jones Corrects Reporter's Comment On Her 'Very Tan' Look: 'I'm Ethnic'

[kpete]

This year’s annual Screen Actors Guild Awards prompted many touching moments including two empowering acceptance speeches from “Orange Is The New Black” star Uzo Aduba, as she took home the award for Outstanding Female Actor in a Comedy series and “How To Get Away With Murder” star Viola Davis, who won the award for Best Actress In A Drama Series.

However another highlight, aside from Aduba and Davis’ captivating speeches, took place earlier on Sunday evening during the event’s live red carpet coverage, where TNT correspondent, Danielle Demski questioned actress, Rashida Jones' “very tan” appearance.

"You look like you've just come off an island or something. You're very tan. Very tropical," Demski said to the biracial “Parks and Recreation” star whose father is music legend Quincy Jones.

It was an awkward comment to which Jones quickly responded, “I mean, you know, I'm ethnic."

7. That nitwit probably would ask Melissa McCarthy when her baby is due too.

Arizona State must be so proud. She has a degree in broadcast journalism from the Walter Cronkite School at ASU. Pretty scary.

I really do not think that young lady meant any harm.
