The ‘Racial Empathy Gap’
According to Policy Mic writer Zak Cheney-Rice, “This idea comes from research done at the University of Toronto-Scarborough and the University of Milano-Bicocca. Findings suggest that people of all racial groups empathize less with Black people than they do other races.” White people don’t know that Black people can have similar lives as they can. It comes from cultural ignorance.
