A fallacy that's common when conversations enter these waters is that one person can be a "representative" of any group of people.
I think the discussion is great, but don't think we've concluded therefore that $2/hr is a fine thing for Africans to be paid and all is well again, because one user has said a similar job helped them get out of poverty.
The key thing to remember about "SJWs" is that they want to improve the world for the folks who need it most. Sometimes it does involve changing patterns people fall into without realizing, and sometimes "SJWs" get it terribly wrong. Poor people aren't stupid, but they are often stuck in some way of thinking or behaving (as anyone in their situation would be), and it's not always productive or helpful to "just" give them what they ask for directly.
But to deride someone for wanting a better life for another person strikes me as needlessly cynical. Why put that out into the world, why justify the hate?
