Got it........

In a British program about Samuel L Jackson and Colin Farrells lastest movie SWAT presented by British presenter, Kate Thornton, the following exchange occured:

Thornton: What was it like working with Colin (Farrell), cos he is just so hot in the U.K. right now?

Jackson: Hes pretty hot in the U.S. too.

Thornton: Yeah, but he is one of our own.

Jackson: Isnt he from Ireland?

Thornton: Yeah, but we can claim him cos Ireland is beside us.

Jackson: You see thats your problem right there. You British keep claiming people that dont belong to you. We had that problem here in America too, it was called slavery.
