Sadly, none of this is true. Dalits in the US even the small minority that they are experience even worse discrimination in the US than from India itself. India's English speaking caste consists of predominantly members of the upper caste of India. Now you can argue you can punish those who use caste to discriminate but the reality is that it's just not the case in india as the effectively create the barriers through the use of language and restricting the opportunity for those to learn it to only those who have and belong to upper castes. You talk about localization but in several countries this does not occur. We should care and saying we shouldn't is disingenuous and simply misinformative at best.

My great grandfather came to the states in 1920 from Kapurthala and he was definitely not an upper caste person. It happened. Get over it.

I assure you, most non-Indians have zero idea about caste and couldn't care less. Therefore, I gather that this is happening from other Indians in the US? In other words, you leave India to escape poverty and presumably racism, but then.. decide to live in predominantly Indian neighborhoods where they are racist, do buildness with, and work for, racist people?! Here is a strong suggestion. Don't live near these fools, don't work for them. Don't move to the US, and then, try to create an Indian culture and neighborhood in the US. Instead, just become American. Merge with the culture, and no more racist Indians.
