I have never heard or felt anyone talk about caste in my 25 years in US. I work with both academia as well as industry.

They may not have talked about it to you, but that doesn't mean they didn't talk about it at all.

Exactly how made-up issues are created. Vocal minority fallacy

In the US, caste is mostly a made up issue. Most 95% Indian Americans are upper caste or rich land owning OBCs (like the professor who wrote this blog). Who exactly are they discriminating against then?

Lot of grifters like Equality Labs have made this issue in US bigger than it seems. Most Indian American kids probably don't even know their own caste.

Agree with you.
