This comment is a breath of fresh air.

Tons of people use a few correct points about social justice as a way to make themselves publicly noble. It's horrendous, and it sends the signal to everybody else:

"we're like you, we don't care about the underprivileged either, we just leverage their plight differently, for different personal gain"

There's no greater goal to work towards with such a person. They're looking to set themselves above you, nothing more. This is not the step with which most group projects begin.
