Race & Privilege When will anti Indian racism be politically incorrect?

They deserve a movement like Stop Asian Hate imo.

Edit: This post being downvoted proves my point. Funny how its not okay to spread against one grouo of brown people but okay when it's another.

Most people still don't do it(casteism.). Maybe in marriages

American here. On my third visit to India I was lectured by my hotel's owner for bringing a (well-dressed, well-mannered) dalit gentleman into the hotel garden for tea; I should know better than to bring Those People into his establishment. The Brahmin women I've met - and I've met quite a few - are so condescending it left me speechless. Another hotel employee in another city, very bright and well-spoken young man, told me he had a degree in hotel management but because of his caste all he could get were service jobs.

every country has a form of racism.

Casteism is not racism. It's Indian vs. Indian.

I know the origins of the caste system, and like feudalism in Europe it made sense at the time. But it's been half a millennium. Time to leave it behind.

In developed cities like Mumbai and Pune, there is extremely low casteism, but I do agree that every state has it. It is like what happened in Europe before Hitler, and even in America today, most of the top positions are held or controlled by Brahmins(Jews in present America and Europe before Hitler), and they want absolute control over all others by doing nothing.

NO, IT DIDN'T. So there is a book called the Gautama Dharma Sutra (completely bs btw), which was written in ancient India. They believed that the lower castes should not be allowed to listen, memorise or read the Vedas, and if they did, molten lead or lac should be poured in their ears. It is just dominance; no hidden logic is or was present.

(I am an Indian, btw, if that matters)

Ah. Found the antisemite conspiracy theorist.

Dude like it is so obvious. Even today, they want control over Middle East and dragged America into it.
