I should still point out that in some of your examples, there is a choice. E.g., if a Muslim really holds a non-Muslim to be 'inferior', he'll no longer be inferior if he converts. It seems that there's no such hope or opportunity in the caste system.
- indigoviolet 17y agoTo me, that's just splitting hairs. I don't consider religious discrimination to be any better than caste-based or skin-color-based discrimination. My point is that this is one more manifestation of an inherent feature of human behavior, to consider similar people to be better than dissimilar people. Societies that become prosperous and educated can counteract this urge to some extent, but I haven't seen any society that really stamps it out.
