Yes, I'm a little angry
The next time some opportunistic bigoted demaguogue tries to play off the stereotypes in your subconscious, look up Captain Mbaye Diagne. That would be the devout Senegalese Muslim military officer, presumably francophone, who violated his UN orders and pulled somewhere between dozens and hundreds of people alive out of the hell of Rwanda in 1994 in unauthorised rescue missions. Ignoring the manual for Hollywood heroes, he did it unarmed, alone, and in broad daylight, by sheer charm, wit and guts. And then a piece of RPF mortar shrapnel got him in the back of the head.
