American History X Quote

Reporter : [ Rasmussen shows a video of a crying Derek with his mother talking to a reporter after his father's death ] Look I know this is tough. But how do you feel right now?
Derek Vinyard : How do you think I feel? I think it's typical.
Reporter : Typical how?
Derek Vinyard : Well, this country is becoming a haven for criminals so what do you expect? You know, decent hard-working Americans like my dad are getting rubbed out by social parasites.
Reporter : Parasites?
Derek Vinyard : Blacks, Browns, Yellow whatever.
Reporter : I don't understand you're saying that you think maybe your father's murder was race related?
Derek Vinyard : Yeah it's race related! Every problem in this country is race related not just crime. It's like... immigration, AIDS, welfare those are problems in them. The Black community, the Hispanic community, the Asian community, they're not white problems.
Reporter : Derek, are those really issues that deal with poverty?
Derek Vinyard : No. You know, no. They're not products of the environment either that's crap. Minorities don't give two shits about this country, they've come here to exploit it not to embrace it.
Reporter : What does this...
Derek Vinyard : I mean millions of white European Americans came here and flourished you know within a generation so what the fuck is the matter with these people going around shooting a... fireman? [ cries ]
Reporter : What does this have to do with the murder of your father?
Derek Vinyard : Because my father was murdered doing his job! Putting out a fire in fucking Nigger neighborhood. He shouldn't be giving a shit about. He got shot by a fucking drug dealer who probably still collects a welfare check!
