That's not what caste is. Caste is a value assigned to you at birth that you cannot change no matter what you do. It's similar to race but stupider

This sounds an awful lot like what money in America has become.

An american rags to riches mythos and a small and decreasing class mobility asymptotically trending to zero looks more like caste than not.

Kind of sounds like "from old money" vs "not from old money" in the UK/US/etc?
