Uma Thurman talks about why she wants a Swedish citizenship | SVT/TV 2/Skavlan

[@jaredjones1752]

Uma, an American, is proud of her Swedish ancestry. Now if we could only get the majority of Swedes in Sweden to feel the same way.

[@gusnorthamptonshire2651]

The Swedish Population doesn't?

[@lepetitchat123]

it's human nature to want what you cannot have

[@thesubhumancomedy]

They just don't show it. Try invade Sweden, and all Swedes Will unite. They are feeling it, but keeps it til red alert

[@thesubhumancomedy]

Swedes show pride of being Swedish at midsommar. They wouldn't let anyone change that.

[@baconphillip]

Wait swedish dont like their swedish ancestry

[@nathaliedufour3891]

" i hope it will go slowly, you don't deserve a bullet " Uma Thurman's brilliant comment on HW.

[@Starkardur]

Sweden is in the EU so for her to be a Swedish citizen she gets an EU passport so it's easier to travel around Europe than being on an American passport.

[@blackcasanova7]

Bullshit... With the USA paspoort you can travel all over Europe without visum. It'll only be a "issue" if you decide to emigrate and live here in Europe...but when you're that rich it doesn't matter your nationality.

[@thesubhumancomedy]

Her mother probably was the one that wanted it most. Who wants an EU passport, when EU is going to be proud countries with own laws and rules, soon. soon = within 40 years Free trade and open boarders were all that was needed. Vastly different cultures and languishes. Ha!

[@Starkardur]

@@thesubhumancomedy Having a Swedish citizenship also gives her rights in all of the Nordic countries as well which exceeds rights that other European countries have

[@thesubhumancomedy]

@@Starkardur Why our Passports are up there with Japan. But that can't reasonably be the why. Uma can visit states a regular Japan cannot.

Heritage is important

At least the interviewer mostly leaves his guests do the speaking, not interrupting constantly an leaving them to fill up the spaces with whatever rocks their boat。

[@totheworkshed7915]

She’s lovely

[@Norminal1]

Uma is bright erudite articulate and very interesting She gave us her perspective and it was a pleasure to listen to her

[@-namaste-9415]

God, every time HW's topics comes out, her face changes. Always proud of you, Uma!

Craig Reid talks about how he wants Uma Thurman to have Swedish citizenship. And to have her stay there. Forever.

Bra intervju. Jag njöt av diskussionen.

[@canadiangirl5159]

Finally a Swedish person who loves her own family's heritage. Time to love your self again Sweden, and protect your OWN country and your own Swedish culture, and your own Swedish history. And LISTEN to the Dalai Lama and send the migrants BACK to rebuild their own countries.

[@barrettokarate]

Listen to the Dalai Lama? LOL How's that going for all of you?

[@caseymuldoon7125]

What's with her accent?

[@gusnorthamptonshire2651]

I don't notice the accent

[@gangapoornima]

Peoples accents change, especially towards the person across them, accents are fluid for most people especially good actors because sometimes the copy an accent by accident ( i am not actor but i do that, and sometimes i do not notice, i also stutter when i speak with someone who stutters, but naturally i do not stutter, its weird, and not intentional.)

[@ZeSvenska1982]

[@sivedan]

It seems to me she is backing Harvey's camp on the Me2 debate....according to her own words, she "Dealt" with him, i wonder how much is included in "Dealing" with Weisntein; I am sure she know a lot more than she says.....

[@johnrhodes3350]

That's a weird interpretation

[@snaubdca7yebf]

She's way more annoying than I thought she would be. She has nothing to say in any of the interviews I've just seen over the last 10 minutes.

[@snaubdca7yebf]

Oh wait got to her father's quote about joy. I liked that.

[@bashkillszombies]

Uma Thurman is based on race apparently. "If I raised my kids in Saudi Arabia they aren't Saudi Arabian." That logic never translates back to European settled countries though, only other nations settled by other peoples. As someone who is ethnically Swedish with only living relatives there I applied for citizenship. Offered to bring my law firm there, liquidate my assets here and invest in the Swedish economy instead and hire a dozen Swedes, learn the language, etc as soon as I hit the ground. NOPE! So I re-applied from a new email, said I don't speak Swedish, nor will I ever as that's 'racist' - that I had two wives, six children, and need someone to pay for them and house them and that I'm in Pakistan but can pretend I'm from Syria if it helps, I got given a case manager and a translator to process my refugee application. I was _shocked_ as fuck.

[@TheMartini1234]

I guess she doesn't believe in magic soil, lol

[@barrettokarate]

Well, her mother was born and raised briefly in Mexico and by the sounds of that quote, neither her or her mom like/want to acknowledge her (Nena) being Mexican. For anyone else who reads my comment and want to argue that Nena Thurman isn't Mexican...she was born there. Thus is legally Mexican by birth.

[@abw48]

Uma you can today apply for Swedish Citizenship and keep your US Passport, the US recognizes dual citizenship but i dont know if Sweden does.

[@mynameisnotjerome1803]

I think she knows that, she was just trying to appeal to the audience by pretending she wants to be Swedish.

[@TheMartini1234]

Sweden absolutely recognises dual citizenship, it's not even necessary to speak Swedish to become a Swedish citizen. Sweden has some of the most lax citizenship laws in the world

[@blotski]

@@mynameisnotjerome1803 Is that what you think? I never think it's a good thing to believe that you can know what other people's motives are. It's unwise in people you actually know. It's pointless with people you don't.

[@natural91LC]

[@imarandomgirl.]

Nämen e hon svensk?

[@barrettokarate]

A little correction here. Uma's mother (Nena) is not Swedish...by birth. She's Mexican. She was born in Mexico City. Not sure how long her family lived in Mexico after Nena's birth, because I know she began her modeling career at 14 after being discovered in London. Nena's mother was Swedish and she considers herself Swedish, but she is Mexican by birth.

[@hamletscrush]

...her mother isn't mexican. at all. learn the difference between ethnicity, nationality & citizenship. she's swedish & german, spoke swedish & grew up there. you really thought you know her own mother better than her 💀.

[@vlm5723]

Bye! Bye!

[@abouttime1967]

As an American born outside the US, I don't believe in dual citizenship...either you are American or Swedish or German but not both. If she want to be Swedish is fine is her choice..be Swedish,but Swedish only.

[@chriscross9505]

You don't need to "believe" in it. Duel citizenship is a reality and available to her. Not your life, not your choice, not your business. Stay in your own lane and worry about your own life.

[@abouttime1967]

For now.

[@chriscross9505]

I used to think some people were sleepwalking into a dictatorship. Then I realized some others openly desire one.

[@UniMagik]

Chris Cross Agreed! These are just imaginary, man-made borders, like what?! Don’t see the logic behind this mentality.

[@karldilkington8587]

@@abouttime1967 As another American I believe in freedom. People with dual citizenship have the freedom to choose the country that treats them better. Govts that prohibit dual citizenship have a monopoly over its citizens. Also it's crazy the travel freedom you can enjoy with 2 passports.
