A scene from Hotel Rwanda 2004
Colonel Oliver

You should spit in my face.

Paul

Excuse me, Colonel?

Colonel Oliver

You're dirt. We think you're dirt, Paul.

Paul

Who is we?

Colonel Oliver

The West. All the super powers. Everything you believe in, Paul. They think you're dirt. They think you're dumb. You're worthless.

Paul

I am afraid I don't understand what you are saying, sir.

Colonel Oliver

Oh, come on, Paul, you're the smartest man here. You got 'em all eating out of your hands. You could own this frigging hotel, except for one thing. You're black. You're not even a ****. You're an African. They're not going to stay, Paul. They're not going to stop this slaughter.
