I met a proper SJW last night at a party. I told her our app will donate to the most effective charities to save the most lives possible, and she was like, "but how do you prevent this from creating a white savior complex?"

I was like, "our money can go farther when helping very poor countries," and she was like, "but you should be addressing the racism and sexism and inequality in our community right here in New York City"

I was like, "New York City is the 1% though - this is one of the most privileged cities in the world, donating here is just the 1% donating to the 1% basically" and she was like, "but because it's the 1% the oppression structures here matter the most."

I was like, "at the end of the day, though, what matters is that we both have good intentions, even if we disagree about how to do the most good, we still want the same thing, we're on the same side."
She was like, "I disagree."

I thought better of you than stealing a name made up by Infowars and Breitbart as a way to attempt to belittle people who actually think compassion is important. Shame on you.

Do you think I'm actually belittling people because they think compassion is important?

I have zero idea what an SJW is, but I guess it's a heated term. Growing up in NYC I would have guessed single Jewish woman considering you work for a dating site.. I guess not.. as for the NYC is the 1% and most privlidged city I whole heart disagree.. (cont)

Not necessarily the 1% of Americans, though undoubtedly some are, but certainly in the 1% of the planet. Though global poverty continues to improve, even our people in housing projects enjoy a *vastly* better life than most of the world.
