Fake, made up consequences don't count.

Caste Discrimination is like any other form of discrimination. It's wrong.

Pretending being opposed to it is racist is hilarious. I've read your shallow arguments.

There is no case by case basis needed for any segment we see as a protected class now, and caste fits perfectly in there.

While there may not be a large amount of abuse I have personally witnessed caste discrimination and work in an environment where it happens regularly enough I see the value of these laws and regulations filling in where companies are too scared to step up and address it on their own as many are.

There was a lot of backlash against anti racism laws too. That doesn't justify it.

What? There are real consequences to stupid laws/regulations as has been shown again and again. You might want to checkout Consequences Matter: Thomas Sowell on “Social Justice Fallacies” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pn2gda_phAA

> Caste Discrimination is like any other form of discrimination. It's wrong.

This is NOT what is being argued (it is a given). The issue is whether it is prevalent enough in the US to warrant laws/regulations.

> Pretending being opposed to it is racist is hilarious. I've read your shallow arguments.

You attacked me explicitly and got called out on that so don't hide behind glib and flippant statements. As pointed out above, from your comments it is clear that you have not even understood the issue being discussed. I have given you links to all sorts of data and arguments while you have given me nothing in support of your arguments.

Where is the evidence/proof (even the Cisco case has been dismissed)? Making such claims anonymously on a internet forum is the very definition of agenda-driven Hinduphobia. Anonymous accusations have zero credibility. If you really were concerned about the issue you would call out the companies/individuals involved under your own name. But seeing that you are not doing so leads one to the inescapable conclusion that you are being untruthful (to put it mildly) .
