It's interesting you say that. I think for the most part, this is actually a global phenomenon.
What are your thoughts on the extant caste system? How similar is it to the racial legacy that America deals with?

Oh, I see you commented on it already from the caste system article that got popular a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30521888 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30521888
Thanks for posting.

- screye 5y agoI'm surprised you found the post, but I'm glad you did. It took a bit of effort to get the whole thing down in 1 page. For context, I admittedly come across as jaded towards some sub-sections of american liberal folk in that comment. That part takes away from what I consider an otherwise neutral comment. It's just that the combination of "genuine worry + half knowledge + talking down to you" reminds me of school hall monitors, which triggers my defensiveness. One of my favorite comments about India is : "The only thing every Indian can agree on is that no one fully understands India.". So, I'll add that caveat as an Indian myself.
