Discrimination based on caste is different than discrimination based on race, though. There is probably race based discrimination in India too, and it might intersect with caste, but conflating both probably doesnt really make sense.
Also, I dont think people really ignore people of color being racist within their countries.
Most of the time when people bring up arguments stating that the people being racist are white people, its in the context of western countries with a colonial/slave trade past where systematic racism doesnt target white people.
- rv-de 6y agorace based and caste based discrimination are both technically the same and fall into the "racism" category.
- henru 6y agoIm curious about it, how is it the same? Is there a racial basis to caste? My (superficial) undrerstandimg of it is that it's more of a discrimination based on social class (classism) rather than a discrimination based on race (racism). Were dalits, for example, part of a racial minority when this all started?
