Culture is downstream from race. Empathy, ie the ability to consider the feelings of others, and forward thinking/future orientation, are abstract concepts. Abstract concepts originate in the frontal lobe, specifically the prefrontal cortex, along with behavior and emotional control. When you evolve in a region that never sees winter, you don’t have the environmental pressures that force future orientation on a population. Failing to return your shopping cart is anti-social behavior, but the fact is that some people simply can’t conceive of downstream societal effects, or the inconveniences that it may cause to other people. The future, for them, simply does not exist.
Are you aware of any studies that draw a link
between empathy and race?
