You don't have to imagine. They tell you in the article I cited:
https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/quincy-jones-daughters-reveal-why-they-had-issues-with-their-blackness/
There's a link there that leads to a copy of the full article as well.


With all due respect, what you've said here doesn't make sense, and I'm not trying to smash on you or anything. This is a discussion, so I'm going to explain why I'm saying that (provided it's not clear from reading that article).
Again, Rashida **literally** said she didn't experience the pain of white rejection. She grew up as a white person. It's hard for her to admit, but she does admit that. Even her white grandparents were more accepting of her than her sister.
Also, growing up in school, kids aren't deciding who they fool with based on a name at the top of a resume. It's about how you appear. She looked white and was accepted as such. At most, it'll be novel that they have a white friend named Rashida. To add to this, their very white and blond mom, Peggy, used to pick them up from school. It was her sister Kidada whose circle looked at her weird, especially in the white school they went to as small children.

Yeah I get that. Rashida is also the only person on the show who's not based on his actual family member. His children on the show are based on his actual children, but his wife isn't based on his actual wife (well, ex-wife now).

I don't indicate that they don't. I brought up that that's the ONLY kind of person he depicts from his old neighborhood. I was just waiting on ONE person from there who was normal. I got knucklehead friends and family from my old neighborhood too, but I also have normal, responsible friends and family who still live there.

I'm not knocking you for liking the show.

Cool.
