I usually feel the same way about this things, but these peoples reactions were not instant, it took them several minutes to "get it". The faked ones usually have people who react right away.
Reminds me of this video in whatever subway where some actor would fall asleep in someone else's shoulder and they recorded how many strangers would let him.

Encouraging people to do good things is political now? Skipping over the politics, that fact alone is disappointing.
I saw a 'What would you do' set up in a city in the USA (can't remember which city), that was considered to be homophobic.
The setup was a father and teenage son having dinner in a restaurant when the son reveals to his father he is gay. The father acts outraged and angry and threatens to hit him and then storms out of the restaurant.
The other patrons in the restaurant got involved with the lonely teen and then got defensive and protective when the father returned to further reject his son.
So American's, as the rest of the world, are capable of kindeness...not that that should be a shock to anyone.
