Until I witnessed minorities inflicting injuries in movies.

“Fleabag” Phoebe Waller-Bridge (s2e3); 

“Taken” Pierre Morel. 

Side-note: I use "person of color" in this ep and not my specific origins in aims of acknowledging a shared experience of discrimination across minority groups (even though I think I end up shortening to colored? Which is definitely not an exampe to follow, sorry about that)
