What's really going on
Pino opens with affection and a raised hand, calling himself Vito's brother even as he admits he hits him, then slides straight into the real message: fear of Black people. "Mookie's not to be trusted," he says, and widens it to a slur against all Black men, warning that "the first time you turn your back, boom!" His proof is thin, and Vito calls it out: "Give me a break, Pino, I never seen you read nothing in your fucking life." The scene shows how racism is passed between brothers as protection, not hatred, which is what makes it hard to argue with. Vito's resistance is not a defense of Mookie so much as a refusal to accept Pino's authority, and Pino reads that refusal as betrayal.
Theme
Family conflictPino warns his own younger brother about the people around them and threatens him when Vito refuses to agree.

このシーンについての質問
Why does Pino tell Vito not to trust Mookie?
Pino distrusts Mookie and, more broadly, Black people, and he wants his younger brother to share that fear. He claims Mookie has their father fooled and warns Vito to be on guard.
Does Vito believe Pino's warning?
No. Vito says he trusts Mookie, mocks Pino's claim of having read up on it, and finally tells him he does not actually know what he is talking about.
What does "mulignan" mean?
It is an Italian-American racial slur for a Black person. Pino uses it when he says no mulignan can be trusted, which is the ugliest line in the scene.
Why does Pino threaten Vito?
Vito refuses to agree, so Pino falls back on intimidation, warning that he will rip him and beat him. The threat shows that Pino needs Vito on his side more than he can argue for it.
Why does Pino call himself Vito's brother before the warning?
It's how he packages the warning. Pino admits he sometimes hits Vito, then leans on the family bond to claim the right to tell him what to think. Calling suspicion brotherly is meant to make it harder for Vito to refuse.
