I think "caste" is a strong word. Castes are much more rigid and are hereditary. "Stereotype" is a more appropriate description of the events in the article. In the book, "Caste", white people are supposedly at the top (I only read the Amazon summary of the book). But, if you use income or GPA as a measure, Asians and Indians (from India) are at the top. Whites are in the middle.
