Caste is a thing plenty of Indians are willing to come out and condemn too. My line is pretty simple. Is it a tradition that involves harm being done to an individual without their consent? Then I'm not honoring it. Is it a tradition involving personal behavior and decisions or interactions between people with all parties consenting? Then it's none of my business. Discrimination falls very clearly on the first side of that line. Something like caste is "mild" enough that it's only really worth the energy to fight in the US when it crops up, but things that are more severe (like outright genocide) are things that I would argue we go beyond "not honoring" into the realm of "time to actively intervene." The Rohingya genocide is being committed by a society "very different from the one in which I was raised." I feel no desire to exercise tolerance towards the practitioners. I guess that makes me a bit more of a hawk than the average American right now.
