      By pretending to be someone else you must apply some model of the other in you.

      Did that make it thru your thick, dense, calcified brain basket?

        Ok, but when you do that as a stereotype you aren’t empathizing with them, you are reinforcing the stereotype of them in your head.

          You are ignoring the process. If i were to just ape sterotypes i would not call that establishing empathy. The reflection and introspection upon taking a persona, estimating what living conditions were like, walking a mile in their shoes, etc. is what enables the growth.

          These are things you seem to lack the ability to percieve in others.

          Which explains this chat.
