If you can't answer this question with respect to the opinions of Indian-Americans of traditionally disadvantaged castes (and to be fair, neither can I answer it), what are the chances that the random mid-level Google exec who made this decision could answer it, or indeed is even aware of the question itself? If we assume that chance is quite low, the question seems like a distraction.
- rayiner 4y ago> If we assume that chance is quite low, the question seems like a distraction. I disagree with that—the question matters either way. Activism creates conflict, and ordinary members of minority groups may or may not feel like the conflict is justified in comparison to the actual scope of the problem. Other Indians at Google objected to this activist as being anti-Hindu. At the very least bringing this sort of advocacy into the workplace creates the potential for conflict. Depending on the actual scope of the caste discrimination problem, members of lower castes may or may not feel like the potential for conflict is worthwhile.
