It matters at companies with high levels of south asian representation, for example Apple, Cisco, Google, etc. When people complain of caste discrimination they aren't talking about it coming from white folks like you.
- hef19898 4y agoI think you both agree.
- _vertigo 4y agoPoor phrasing, but the OP was making the case against caste discrimination, not downplaying caste discrimination. I read it wrong at first. Not the greatest take either way. "I'm from a different culture and I don't notice it so it's probably bullshit". So if you could tell the difference between castes, would it not be bullshit?
- kajecounterhack 4y agoThanks for pointing it out, I misread it too. But also, "castes aren't based on anything real and are obvious bullshit" (paraphrasing the original comment) is not going to be obvious to everyone and not a very helpful statement. Kind of like saying "the world really isn't flat" -- we know, but it's not gonna help anyone because you're not going to stop flat earthers from existing or being sincere about their beliefs.
