I think the main reason you don't see this 'tribalness' is because theres sooo many, its difficult to show empathy with so many people. Like right now, I'm in a crowded library, I'm not going to show much connectedness to those around me, becuase there's just so many. Or on my way to class, I'm not going to smile & say hi to thousands of students on the way. Maybe your professor was seen by passerbys as a bum passed out, or the passerby's respected his personal space. Yeah its apathetic, but I probably would have done the same.
