Selective presence of empathy is exactly equivalent to selective lack of empathy, which is a type of lack of empathy.

Except that literally everyone who has empathy does selective empathy, even if not intentionally. You also can't really form an in-group and out-group mindset without empathy. Like if there was no empathy at all bigotry wouldn't be nearly as big.
