“ This shit has to stop, leave it in India, America is better than this.” The rest of your comment is fine but you can say it without throwing an entire country under the bus. Guess what, the US is currently literally allowing for caste discrimination. So maybe it’s not better than this. Not yet.

You’re not wrong, but that refers to the general idea that you emigrate to improve your status; The caste system should not be exported.

Perfect is the enemy of good. India is not dealing with this issue, America is.

    I read this as: Dealing as in working on it, not dealing as in enduring.

  > India is not dealing with this issue, America is. India is not dealing with caste discrimination? Is this a joke? India has implemented incredibly wide-reaching and aggressive policies to both combat present-day casteism and remediate the effects of past/historical casteism. Yes, caste discrimination still happens in India - that's why it remains an ongoing effort with a multi-pronged approach. But it's very much an issue that is actively being addressed at nearly every layer of society, to a degree that would be inconceivable in the US or Europe. Honestly, if you compare the tangible and concrete steps to combat casteism that India has undertaken (a currently active effort) to the incredibly milquetoast anti-racism efforts within Europe (for example), it makes the latter look like mere lip service by comparison.

    I'm interpreting it as that the issue of caste discrimination being perpetuated by immigrants in America is, by definition, not being dealt with by India. India has to deal with the issue of caste discrimination being perpetuated in India.

He is rhetorically saying an "ought", not "is", although grammatically it is an "is". At least that's how I read it. (Disclaimer: I'm not American and English is not my native language though.)

Not my intention. We of course have our own problems. At least Seattle is standing up for something and calling it out.

I think most people would agree you’re far less likely to be victimized for your caste in America than in India, which means for all intents and purposes it is better than this.
