The caste system was put in place 1900 years ago but after the mixing of populations so caste system identification through dna isn't really possible.

And Jews were self identifying and dna isn't going to tell you if you are gay or not.

Ethnicity can be easier discovered through last name, visual clues rather then stolen hacker data.

The fears are similar to fears around your commodore 64 accidently logging into a war games scenario and destroying the world.

Most people in Russia who identify as Jewish and/or emigrated to Israel have non-Jewish last names. You really would never know if they didn't file the paperwork.
