I think the point here is caste is something different than the other categories. Caste doesn't discriminate gender, religon etc. In the indian caste system you can be a woman, a Christian, etc and still not escape it. It is a layer on top of all the other forms of discrimination and traditionally passed through generations. Most of the people I know that came from India to America, when I have asked, have told me that they forgot about caste within a few years of living in the US. Everyone's lived experience is different though and I can imagine these traditions die harder in pockets of the US where South Asian communities live.
