It appears that the South Asian community in California is angry that the bill would mean that caste discrimination exists, and there seems to be the implication that many in that community want to bring that aspect of their culture with them to America.
The actual bill: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240SB403 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtm...

People from South Asia aren’t a monolith, and my understanding is that caste based discrimination is more common in the Bay Area than other parts of the state, but either way discrimination based on religion, sex, gender, race, ethnicity, income, or any sort of box you can end up in that you don’t choose to be in should be illegal under the civil rights act.
