My guy still thinks bigotry is caused by lack of empathy. It's actually selective empathy that helps encourage bigots.

Selective presence of empathy is exactly equivalent to selective lack of empathy, which is a type of lack of empathy.

Except that literally everyone who has empathy does selective empathy, even if not intentionally. You also can't really form an in-group and out-group mindset without empathy. Like if there was no empathy at all bigotry wouldn't be nearly as big.
