#3I guess BLM is "so hot" right now (but to be honest this caste issue was never mention even before BLM also).
Perhaps this is because in the West this concepts of casts within society is completely foreign to us.
So for a Westerner this does not create any acute psychological response if someone says "I'm a Dalit". A westerner would be like "huh, yeah ok man, I have no idea what that is."
So in the mind of a westerner this "he's a Dalit" doesn't create any associations by which he would judge this person because the concept of "casts" is so foreign to us.
This is also why we ignore it + westerners are not affected by this system as it applies only to Indians.
I did hear stories though that the upper cast Indians in a managerial position onyl hire other upper cast Indiands and keep whites because "they know they perform". But upper cast indians still severely favourite their own vs whites for example.
I guess you could say that their "you're a Dalit gtfo" is the same as someone in the west says "you're black gtfo".

#7Doesn't California's Unruh Civil Rights Act prohibit employment discrimination in a businesses based on ancestry, especially given the CA Supreme Court's repeated determination that the list of protected classes should be interpreted broadly? So why wouldn't caste discrimination be illegal under that law?

#9Cisco HR said "caste discrimination was not unlawful". Doesn't California's Unruh Civil Rights Act prohibit employment discrimination in a businesses based on ancestry, especially given the CA Supreme Court's repeated determination that the list of protected classes should be interpreted broadly?
