> They argue that the measures could falsely characterize all Hindus in America as inherently biased against members of their own community.

So instead, they fight in order to maintain the ability to engage in this sort of discrimination? Doesn't that do a whole lot more to make them seem inherently biased than supporting anti-discrimination efforts would?

The argument makes no sense to me. It really looks to me like it's not only a tacit admission that this discrimination is real, but that they want to ensure they can continue to treat certain people as second-class citizens.

All this needs is a single court ruling that caste is synonymous with race to make this illegal (in employment, housing, etc). I personally don't think there's a distinction. Both are social constructs used to arbitrarily lump people into categories. The people in this article claiming that caste discrimination doesn't exist are telling on themselves. If it doesn't exist, then there should be no objection to outlawing it.

AFAICT the caste system is just a subcategory of racism.

There’s been a bunch of discussion in tech about caste discrimination. Newsom vetoed a bill that would’ve outlawed. Now we are getting pieces of the story as to why he did that.

We know these truths to be self-evident - that all men are created equal.

Caste discrimination is insanely prevalent. Every workplace I've been in that has had Indian workers has had some form of it. Very often it has been serious and skilled people have been denied the positions they should be in because they "need to stay in their station".

Is classism a form of religion and thus can be protected under U.S. rights of religious freedom from government interference?

I mean, your salary too is a form of classism, no?

Not a rhetorical question. And not asking for a friend.

The caste system should have died millenia ago. Disgustingly prejudiced set of beliefs.

Derision and ridicule are legitimate social tools for combating these ridiculously mediocre clowns, for which reason is impervious.
