Casteism, while bad, is not racism. Saying casteism is ingrained in Indians on the other hand is racism.
> Casteism, while bad, is not racism Open to this argument. But every definition of race I’ve seen constructed to exclude caste seems contrived. The system has imprinted itself as far down as hair shaft diameter [1]. > Saying casteism is ingrained in Indians on the other hand is racism Sympathetic to this.
