The word empathy was the one Sue Gardner chose to use too. I would
rather see something like "respect" instead. Any of us might lack
empathy with someone from a very different cultural background to our
own, this does not mean that we cannot respect their viewpoint or
their culture.

If someone lacks respect for a different culture, that is truly
shameful. Someone who lacks empathy for others is unfortunate and may
always have difficulty understanding context no matter how loudly
others shout at them.

Cheers,
Fae
