Advocating for the condemnation of casteism is only anti-India if you think casteism is an essential property of India that cannot and should not be changed.

Do you think casteism is an essential property of India that should not be changed, throwaway_1928?

India itself condemns casteism by, among other things, granting 60% job reservations ("affirmative action") to its 'lower' castes.

Does the US condemn the mass murder of and continent-sized land theft from Native Americans and the mass kidnapping and centuries-long enslavement of Africans by granting them 60% of all jobs at every level of government?

This has nothing to do with the original topic. Why can't a Brahmin in the US condemn casteism? Why did you say it's anti-India to ask for that? And why do you pivot away to a different topic when asked these questions?

As you say, India has acted more resolutely against casteism than the US has against racism in some ways. So it should be incredibly easy for someone coming from that background to condemn casteism. If they didn't, it would be anti-India.

Americans do not fight racism as hard as they should, but almost all of them find it extremely easy to condemn racism. Not sure why it should be different for a US Brahmin and casteism.

I certainly don't think people calling for that are anti-American,

anti-India? Do you mean anti-highest-Indian-caste or something?

both the OP and your citation are her complaining about a tech CEO being Brahmin and avoiding the caste conversation...

Why is the Indian American CEO obligated to discuss caste?

Must the Jewish founders of the FAANG companies share their views on the Israel-Palestine conflict?

Is the Israeli-Palestine conflict happening in their office?

I’d certainly hope the CEO would say something if their Israeli employees and Palestinian employees started firing rockets at each other on work time.

Any corporate leader of any identity should be able to condemn any kind of bigotry that may be occurring at their company. The targets of bigotry have a right to know the leader has their back. It doesn't depend on the identity of the leader, the perpetrator of the bigotry, or the target of the bigotry. And this is not a request to comment on events in distant lands.

It's not even certain that he's Brahmin. The Saiva Vellalars (a lower caste group) seem to believe he's one of them.

I don't think anything exists on the English language internet about that. (I doubt Saiva Vellalars hangout there, but I also have no idea who they are.) Wheras so many people insist he is Brahmin that if you enter "google CEO caste" into Google search, the algorithm spits out "Brahmin" (this is more of an amusing detail)
