It's suicidal compassion. Not empathy. These NPCs are incapable of empathy.
Compassion: feeling bad for someone Empathy: putting yourself in someones shoes and actually understanding their point of view
This is an important distinction, though I'd call it emotional projection rather than compassion. They project how they would feel/behave in a situation onto the poor browns rather than understand how they actually think and behave.
Yes, emotional projection is the better and more accurate description.
