How this shit is legal.
- jojobas 6y agoCalm down with your cultural imperialism. /s Seriously though, would something as foreign to US be a protected class?
- sk0g 6y agoMoreso, it's not yet illegal because the problem is an imported one entirely.
- awakeasleep 6y agoTo give you a concise answer, USA Federal law only prohibits discrimination based on the following characteristics: Race. Color. Religion or creed. National origin or ancestry. Sex. Age. Physical or mental disability. Veteran status. Genetic information. Citizenship. Anything else you can think of is a legal reason to discriminate
- ardit33 6y agoyou could argue that caste, is a combination of color+religion+origin/ancestry combo... it has a racial + religion + ancestry undertone.... i.e. it is something you are 'born into'.
- hef19898 6y agoSure. But maybe to complex for most people. And more often than not, people seem to be quite happy with excuses to not do anything.
- manquer 6y agoI would say caste is ancestry based discrimination
- twic 6y agoBut not national ancestry, which is what is protected.

- jchallis 6y agoI remember HR training circa 2010 specifically taught me that I could discriminate individuals based on their Sign of the Zodiac as that was not a protected area.
