I was born in India, am of Indian Brahmin (i.e. the "top" caste) blood, and all I can say is this:
The caste system is a disgrace to India and I fully condemn it as an Indian. I hope this kind of shit can be abolished not only in Silicon Valley but in India as well.
- cushychicken 6y agoThanks for sharing your perspective. It seems like an awful thing to endure. I do, however, want to be sensitive to the fact that it may have some secondary effects that I'm not aware of, having never experienced firsthand.
- yandie 6y agoHow can you justify discrimination based on somebody's origin in any modern society? What kind of negative "secondary effects" that anti-discrimination would bring to a society? It's not like this is a small country or the first time we're talking about this issue.
