20 Iconic Award Show Moments

Rashida Jones is complimented on her ‘tan’

One of the most cringe-worthy moments of award season (and also of anything ever) was this interview Rashida Jones did on the red carpet of the 2015 SAG Awards. The interviewer decided to compliment her on her ‘tan’, which is actually just the natural color of her skin – because she’s partly African American.

The confused actress (and daughter of Quincy Jones) replied by saying, “Well, you know… I’m ethnic,” which served to put the interviewer right in her place for the strange remark.
