As mentioned, I’m only slightly lower than the uppermost caste, so I’m not in any extreme reservation category. And I didn’t use reservation either.

None of that matters since many of these incidents happen within 15 minutes of the first meeting. Roughly around when they start to realize and ask, “oh, you’re not Brahmin?”

Importantly, this question sounds more like trying to find a reason why casteism is justified tbh.

No of course it’s not justified, and not sure why you thought I was trying to do that. I apologize if my comment came across like that.

I have never been in your shoes, so was trying to understand.
