A good samaritan helped me change my spare tire today

So during my drive home from NY to my dad's house in Jersey, just able 11miles from home on the NJ Turnpike my tired blew out. As I was struggling cranking up the jack, a Sunoco man stopped and ask if I was ok. He then used his professional tools to help me change the spare tire and pumping air in it. He helped me on the road side free of charge.

So the questions here are:
1. perhaps our society is not as unethical and decadent as we thought?
2. if a non-Mikraite help a Mikraite, do we owe those individuals favors?
3. Should Mikraites have a similar Noahide/Dhimmi concept regarding non-Mikraites?

I had a similar incident a few years ago. My father's car broke down in the middle of a road in Oakland. A lot of people offered to help us push the car out of the way. All of the people were what we would consider "modern". Most were black. I wouldn't of helped any of them. I remembered one group of blacks in a lowered cadillac even offered to help. They looked like gang members and I would taken pleasure in passing them up if the tables were reversed. My feeling is that these people are like undomesticated animals. They may like you today but tomorrow they'll bite you. This is how I rationalize screwing them even if they offer to help me.

1. Being that the West is in a Post-Christian phase, there's still residual Christian aspects to it. Kindness to strangers will occasionally manifest. Social Justice Warriors, while denouncing Christianity as patriarchal and oppressive, still defend certain values which have their basis in Jesus's way of acting. Some of those being excessive mercy and sentimentalism, as well as a sense of spiritual individualism and a focus on the weak/meek.

2. Kindness should usually be returned. It builds trust,which allows societies to operate and function. It also spreads goodness, and increases the already small chance of a conversion. An expansion in quantity of the of the in-group, usually increases the fitness of the group itself.

3. I'm not sure a formalized concept is needed already but sure, the more exclusive group should be favored. One should choose family over stranger, Mikraite over non-Mikraite and so on. The formalization of such a rule like that though would necessitate political power.
