I don't think this is very good logic. I'm not South Asian, but I can understand not wanting to be subjected to the judgements of a majority who neither knows or cares about the nuances of my culture, yet has to judge me through the lens of that culture.
The amount of times in these and other threads where people just try to explain the culture by simply analogizing to American history (X are the [Black|Mexican|Jewish] people of India) is ridiculous. America is not a macrocosm for the rest of the world.
- ethanbond 3y agoWell the thing about American laws is that they apply to America and American culture. A pluralistic society like ours has no reason nor obligation to import (or even respect) ass-backwards concepts like caste.
- Bukhmanizer 3y agoEither you misunderstood my comment or you're deliberately interpreting it in a way that is easier to argue against. In no place do I argue that we should be importing the "concept of caste".
