Caste discrimination is real and is definitely hurting people and companies. Few of my coworkers say it exists in the US and then as example tell story about managers, executives, etc. The tricky problem is that caste system is part of Vedas based religions - but caste system even predates Vedas (did not research it - only from friends).

This is patently incorrect & whomever told you that didn't know what they were talking about. 'Varnas' i.e.. caste were method of social categorization & they are definitely much younger than Vedas. these were not intended to be genealogical distinctions but over long time ended up evolving into one. Also, there is No requirement to follow varna if you become a hindu. ps: I am actually one of the middle caste hindu & my wife is upper caste. Inter caste marriages are not as uncommon as you think or what british media likes to portray, especially after the internet based 'discovery' came into scene.
