There is huge discrimination between upper and lower castes, I wasn't aware of it until I actually discussed this with an indian friend because of some news, he basically said society needs people to clean and labor work if they weren't to do it who would do it. I was mind blown to find out my life long friend was secretly equivalent of kkk member. And he saw nothing wrong with it. Upper caste people infact treat other religions/races better than the lower caste. Good luck preventing this discrimination in hiring if company isn't actively caring about this. Name is enough to revel what cast you are part of. Many companies take great measures in creating diversity in hiring boards/committees but completely ignore regional discriminations that can exist within same race of people based on dialect, culture, religion sect, cast, or whatever historical reasons there are. They care so much about unconscious biases yet introduce people with active biases in the name of diversity and defeating the whole point. You can see this in large offices, during lunch certain indians will hangout with non-indians than other indians it's because they are seen as inferior by their fellow country men. Biases I've noticed: Chinese have positive bias toward whites Chinese have strong positive bias toward other chinese Chinese have slight negative bias toward indian Chinese have strong negative bias toward blacks Indians have strong negative bias toward lower caste Indians have moderate negative bias toward muslims/pakistan Indians have positive bias toward white White women have positive bias toward black White women have negative bias toward white men White men have strong positive bias toward other white men White men have positive bias toward asian White men are neutral toward chinese, hispanic, indian, pakistan... White men have slight negative bias toward older women ========= not enough personal data points to tell about muslims, hispanics, black and other groups and subgroups. you can see this dynamic play out during lunch, in voting, and other various social interactions.
