Action movie with white, male lead + black, lesbian secondary

The white, male lead leads everyone to watch it. If a shitty action movie were all black characters, it would be a "black" movie and white people wouldn't as readily watch it when they're looking for a normal movie to watch. He's the lead character, but often also the comic relief and has flaws.

The black, lesbian character is a major, leading role, too. And she is always a flawless fenius and always wins any battles she may get in in the movie, and has no emotional shortcomings.
 Sometimes she's in a relationship with the white character.

They get people to watch with the white, male lead, then they brainwash you into associating black lesbians with power and, ultimately, will have white women striving to look more like them.

It is disgusting. And it also makes the movies genuinely unwatchable for me because, even if I disregard the societal damage, my suspension of disbelief is completely broken every scene she's in.

Recent examples from (((Netflix))) include The Union and Carry-On.

Union was at least outlandish-spy-suspension-of-disbelief themed... I like Wahlberg and Simmons, but fell asleep and didn't finish it.

Carry-on was stupid. Egerton plays the everyone-in-TSA-is-a-high-school-dropout trope pretty well but the villains are so painfully cliche it's unwatchable. We turned it off and did something else.
