Shouldn't things be fair

So I had this disagreement with someone who will remain unnamed a few weeks ago. Where they made a comment that has been bothering me ever since. They said " There are givers and takers in the world. The givers should be happy to give; you can't change the takers. Caring and compassionate people (which they were saying I was not) except the Inequalities in the world."

I was always under the impression that caring and compassionate people fought against the inequalities of the world. And that selfish self-centered people excepted the Inequalities because usually they are the people benefiting from them. Imagine what the world would be like if some of the amazing people in the world were caring and compassionate by the unnamed person definition above and buried their heads in the sand instead of fighting to make a change. Instead of fighting for and with people who for any number of reasons are being treated unfairly. Even if it is just standing up for the kid getting bullied in the park, or donating your time or money to a country and people less fortunate then you. Helping in anyway you can. I hope that I never become a "caring and compassionate person that excepts the inequalities in the world".

I am still amazed by their blanket statement and that after a lengthy debate they still believe their statement to be true. I must be missing something. Help
