The US is quite large so this is a YMMV thing. I solve this issue by just not associating very much with my ex-countrymen. I get enough of them when I go to visit my parents, I don't need to constantly mingle with more Indians. I have a solid set of diverse friends (one or two are Indian).

It helps that in my workplace I tend not to think of anyone as a 'friend' and just keep my interactions professional.

I don't understand how educated people behave this way. I have seen this in illiterates but modern educated people behaving this way is absolutely mind boggling.

What do you mean by “behave this way”? I have no idea what in particular you’re referring to. It could be parent. Or something in grand parent and you’re supporting parent.

Pretty sure they're referring to the act of caste discrimination.

If you think the comment was made in good faith with good intentions ;) and you read my reply above, it should be pretty obvious that I am talking about educated people discriminating on the basis of caste.

You now the bit about Nazis, you can be two of either a) a nice person b) an intelligent person c) a Nazi.

I guess the works for all kinds of cases of discrimination.
