As Chris Hedges says, "They love helping the unfortunate, they just hate the smell."
Just think of all of the up votes and netcred you'll gather with your widely broadcasted semi-reasonable moral indignation vs. silently helping the unfortunate. It's not political correctness and it never has been (the Left of all people have never cared about being considerate of the political identification of those who disagree with them), it's moral masterbation for mass consumable self-identification.
For example, this post will get 15 downvotes. Ask me how I knew.
