Re:Trapped in Silicon Valley’s hidden caste system by mohanmcgeek on Tuesday March 01, 2022 @08:39PM (#30522579)
You can't find somebody's caste from knowing where they're from. But last names generally are associated with their caste.

For this reason, my state got rid of surnames ~50 years ago. It sure is inconvenient in some places: I have to explain that I don't have a last name and that they're calling me by my father's first name. But given the pros, I don't know why the other states haven't followed suit
