I can think of few things more un-American than the concept of caste. We should not even acknowledge that caste exists any more than bodily humors. All men are

  The problem is a massive influx of naturalized Americans to a limited number of geographic areas bring their culture, good and bad, with them. This causes a dilution of the melting pot effect typical of areas like say NYC. If there is suffering that can be effectively reduced by legislating against it, then it needs to happen. IANAL, so I can't speak to if this was something useful or if it was a liberal purity test pandering to a demographic. In my limited experience, the few Brahmins I worked with were absolutely intolerable, toxic, mean people. It was probably an aberration as I don't have a large enough sample size to condemn an entire group as "mostly horrible because of a caste system".

  Whether or not the law is good or bad, this is such a dumb comment. Obviously, the law would not somehow create caste as a legal category, or otherwise confer recognition, legal or otherwise, that there is validity to the concept of "caste". Surely you understand that right? Your comment suggests you think the law is some kind of proclamation that caste is a real thing that exists, but I mean, surely you just can't be so dumb as to think that (?) What it would do is try to curtail people who do believe in caste from discriminating against others on the basis of their perceived, supposed "caste". Surely you understand that the law would thus be "anti-caste"?
