I have to be fair here, Samuel L Jackson is just making himself look a bit of a cock by twisting this into a racism 'thing'.
Its easy to get two people mixed up, I do it a lot and colour doesnt come into it at all.
Ok the interviewer should have had some research done beforehand rather than coming across as a dumbass but SLJ has made himself look a fool and quite arrogant by the manner of his response.
I am famous, you should know who I am, I am important, are you being Racist etc etc....
Yawn - it sounds a bit to much of a princess complex to me SLJ, If I saw you in the street, Id have to think about who you were first before realising - but I wouldn't recognise Kim Kardashian or probably Nicole Kidman either if they were knocking around by Boots the Chemist.
Some people are not in love with you mate, just deal with it - I have too!

The intention of course wasn't racist but it certainly was lazy and unprofessional. Rubin was rightly mortified at his cock-up.
SLJ was absolutely right to not let it lie.
I found it all quite funny.

Of course you would.
That was a great interview because he proved how silly it is for people to say the "N word".
I would recognise Jackson in Boots - he would be wearing a beret and a kilt.
:D:D:D:D
What a stupid argument
Ok perhaps an entertainment reporter should know the difference, but it is not a serious matter and it is arrogant of the man to assume so much importance for himself.
How undeniably cheap to turn it into a race issue too.
'to assume so much importance for himself'? He was being interviewed. The least you can expect is for the interviewer to know your name!
the interviewer would have still felt stupid without the jibes needing to continue.
I hope that when I become a multi millionaire film star, I am a bit less of a ****
what an amazing response!
Totally agree with this post.
Frankly, I don't know how anyone could mix up the two men unless they are blind and dumb. It was an absolutely crazy error to make.
Thanks. Im proud of it myself
