Is she saying her dad made her get into show business because she'll be like us other college-degree plebs trying to find a job? And that she'll have an easier time because of who he is?

If so, that's a lot of words to say this.

She really used all those words and said not one thing on the topic.

I thought the exact same thing

I remember her and her sister had a full article about them in Sassy Magazine back in the early 90s just because they were the kids of famous parents.

“My dad said to me, when I graduated from college: ‘You’re gonna go wait in line with 70,000 other people for a job? That doesn’t seem really that practical,' And he was right, you know."

So you agree. Your status as a nepo baby meant you got to skip the line past all those others regardless of talent level.

I...do not like her. I get a Maya Rudolph "wants to be the darkest person in the room" vibe from her real bad.

Wait, what?

I don’t like her. I think that like Maya Rudolph, Rashida likes to surround herself with only white people.

it's interesting how she and kidada picked sides.
