Why such a high drive to be as open minded as possible? Do you not see where this has taken us?
Empathy is simply inextricably entwined into my personal constitution. My mother can tell stories of my empathy from way back in elementary school. I always do my best to understand what it's like to walk in another person's shoes. Admittedly, it would be much more convenient to simply say "fugk them people who are different from me."
