I think there is a pretty big jump between expecting a professor to treat all their students equally and with respect regardless of their gender/race/religion/etc and expecting them to to teach underprivleged children in foreign countries.

Everyone (well at least everyone reasonable) agrees with the former. The latter on the other hand feels like a totally different set of skills than what a professor does, and it feels unfair to expect that out of someone who doesn't have the inclination to do that (or to bring it in terms suitable to the HN crowd, the same way it is toxic when companies push good engineers into management against their will or as a requirement in order to advance)
