Expanding your empathy
summary
Argues that empathy — not pity — is the missing competency and backs it with specifics: Isabel Wilkerson spends 15 years interviewing 1,200 people and follows three protagonists in Warmth of Other Suns; Anita Sarkeesian’s Twitter mentions show coordinated abuse; tech firms admit diversity numbers while 75% of white Americans have no friends of color. Offers a concrete remedy: a stop, listen, apologize routine, advice to follow diverse voices, and examples of how captioning and resource barriers block participation.
