My mother taught me to care about other people around the world in general, but she has that PEP thing going on - cares deeply about Native American people, but has a blind side when it comes to Palestinians, and honestly Muslims in general. Still, that basis in compassion is what led me to study languages and anthropology in college, which led to working in an international nonprofit and most importantly meeting my husband who is of a different culture, religion and nationality. I think parents can nurture the idea of compassion for the other even if they miss some important matters.
