[ACC24013]

I wouldn’t say pompous so much as potentially naive and paternalistic, an “I know what’s best for ‘you people'” attitude. When I meet someone from a background such as yours, I appreciate their sympathy while at the same time wonder if they really understand as much about me as they think they do. Sometimes sheltered liberals harbor hidden prejudices (more often class than racial/ethnic) or are acting out of guilt rather than more healthy motives. So I usually am very cautious around them until I find out what is behind their surface. What I would suggest to you is to put your beliefs to the test. Get involved with a political or charitable group that deals with the needs of us ‘others’ you don’t have much contact with. It may shatter some or all of your illusions about what you think we need, but it will definitely be better for you and us in the long run.
