  > Suhag Shukla, the executive director of advocacy group Hindu American Foundation, said that the bill would give California businesses a “license to discriminate against South Asians”. The group has lobbied against the bill, saying its passage would trigger a rise in Hinduphobia. https://www.familyeducation.com/baby-names/name-meaning/shukla https://www.familyeducation.com/baby-names/name-meaning/shuk... Indian (northern states) : Hindu (Brahman) name, from Sanskrit šukla ‘white’, ‘bright’, ‘pure’. A shukla Brahman was supposed to take up only shuklavritti ‘pure employment’, i.e. maintenance derived from serving or begging from Brahmans only. You would appear to be correct.

    Such an odd argument -- how is that license to discriminate? It reminds me of the adage "When someone is accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression".
