A minority.

An earnest but often naïve person (typically educated and white) who wants reform through philanthropic or egalitarian means. e.g. wealth redistribution, social justice, welfare, third world immigration, adoption of "disadvantaged" children (usually non-white and from abroad), affirmative action and spending other peoples' money for good causes. See also white guilt. Do-gooders always mean well but may misinterpret opposing preferences to be racist, cold, intolerant or greedy. They genuinely want human development & positive environmental awareness, although the methods are a source of debate.
Do-Gooders can be either liberal/left or “social conservative” (as opposed to fiscal). For some, issues such as "ethnic diversity" & "multiculturalism" are a religious calling, but they generally don’t have the same burden for promoting it in countries apart from western ones - and don't feel that having a lack of ethnic diversity is a crime for any non-european countries (e.g. Japan). A few inherent contradictions may exist, such as the fact that literal "multiculturalism" would instead favor separation of ethnic or cultural groups to maintain “diversity”. Some subconsciously believe that decreasing the "european-descent" portion of the population pie is indicative of western progress.
Do-gooder methods do not always create the positive outcomes intended. The transfer of money from one group of people to another is usually the result.

"My aunt is always involved in some humanitarian project and she plans on adopting some foreign children. My boyfriend thinks she is a do-gooder”
"I can't believe how many do-gooders there are in this town who voted for more spending!"

A social reformer, knave who thinks everyone else's shit stinks but not their own. So convinced their cause/reform is needed they can't even tell their own shit stinks too.

Girl: “I wear my mask every time I go out and yell at people who don’t have one I’m just doing my part to be a good person”
Guy: “you have such a Do-Gooder complex”

Someone who is both a Do gooder and a Goody Two-shoes at the same time.
So someone who always likes to appear like they're helping someone while also working hard to maintain a whiter-than-white morally superior image.

It's getting so tedious with Helen. Every time I speak to her she manages to allude to how earnest and woke she is. There’s always some virtue signalling in there and some humble brags or other comments that hint at what a good, moral and worthy person she is. She’s such a Do Gooder Two-shoes.

An individual who sees stuff in only black and white (or right and wrong) never in between . These individuals kiss up to all that's right but be judgemental to all that is the slightest bit wrong .
Exposed someone's private message on facebook yet covered up the name and pic? A black and white do-gooder will judge you for it and make false assumptions about your motives.
