Because there are now 4.6 million Indian Americans and they are one of the fastest growing ethnic groups in the US.
So it's our own problem now too.
- H8crilA 4y agoIt was a rhetorical question.

- PheonixPharts 4y agoI was going to comment the same thing but then realized the parent comment is listing the tactics people use to shut down the conversation, not their own personal opinions. The point being made is that people who don't want this conversation in public (i.e. people in favor of and/or who benefit from the caste system) will flood the comments with this type of rhetoric which instantly turns the conversation into to a flame war rather than a helpful discourse on how to improve things. The fact that you and I both instinctively fell for this reaction is evidence that parent is quite correct in the effectiveness of this tactic.
