That’s also kind of weird because, if you don’t feel empathy, where is the guilt coming from? It’s not impossible for it to have another cause (like religion, I guess?), but it just seems like the most common way for someone to develop it.
White guilt is often more about saving face and maintaining reputation than about the impacts of potential racism. Fragile white people don’t want to be labeled as racist.

That’s not guilt, that’s shame.
Shame at being called racist I guess?
