> And if they still suffer discrimination, shouldn't we as a society try to fix that? Sure, the US society should strive to eliminate caste-based discrimination occurring in the US. But that it occurs in India does not mean that it’s been carried forward in the US. A history of discrimination leading to a disadvantaged position today, and as a result needing additional support, is a separate problem — an argument for affirmative action — but ultimately is nothing different than all the other classes of peoples who’ve been fucked by history struggling to find security in the US (that is, any solution to the problem is not really particular to Indians, or the caste-system).
