    This thinking is so dangerous… Help others when they need it, it makes the world better.

    The problem with NOT helping a racist jerk in distress:

    1. Not all USA residents are racist jerks.
    2. Racism and being a jerk are generally learned behaviours, not innate.
    3. How do you tell a racist jerk from a non-racist, non-jerk?
    4. Sometimes being a good example encourages a person to not be a racist jerk.
    5. A racist jerk might help you one day.
    6. Etc

    The lesson is that we’re all people.
