Doesn't India's vestigial caste system create a similar structural racial equality problem there?

Would America's racial inequality not be an issue if we had 3x the population?

I think you can mask a lot of issues through sheer population numbers. India and China have really structural issues with their economies, democracies, etc. But if India can get itself to 50% middle class as the US that's 200M more people than we have in this country right now.
