I live in SF, and I've had co-workers here open "brag" about being able to tell whether someone is a brahmin or a kshatriya (sp?).
I had one co-worker who would brag that he isn't discriminative to anyone, except other Indians. We (non-Indians) would kind of have a response of "ah ha ha ha yea... you could do that we can't".
Because of course as team members who aren't minorities we can't be found to do any of that stuff, but there's plenty of minorities who have taken over in discriminating against others based on their own cultural criteria and seem to get a pass.
