Bhai, I've never discriminated against anybody ever or even thought about it. I'm an extremely liberal person who support all the liberal policies in America. People need to open their eyes and realize that this bill is meant for split and division, not unity. This is definitely a larger political game than me and you.

They have been literally infinite issues related to gender and race discrimination before such protections were in the law. Regarding the caste-based issue, there is literally just one case that was in the courts. And the case was pulled back (not settled). There is Zero evidence of any caste-based discrimination across the Americas in workplace today.

You can not get away from your race. But you can get away from religions and caste. I would like to get away from my religion and caste. This bill makes it impossible.

It's not just about legal system being abused. I would like to see casteism dissolved from the world. Grew up in India and I was taught to be caste agnostic. I have seen my parents being friends with and working with people of all castes. I grew up pretty liberal. This bill is trying to attack on a problem that does not exist on the same scale as any of the other discriminatory issues that we ever talk about here in America. We are creating a problem out of our imagination. The kind of arguments that I see from people on internet including this forum are hilarious. People say that The people of highcast would say vegetarians only for the room advertisement or someone can be denied of a marriage proposal based on their caste. That's all really stupid talk. Being a vegetarianism is a global phenomena. Just because I'm a Hindu doesn't mean I am trying to discriminate against someone who eats non vegetarian because they are low caste and I'm not a low caste (again in perception only). For a matter like marriage, it is extremely personal and people are allowed to decline on proposals based on their personal choice.

I am an Indian who oppose this bill, because of multiple reasons. A good amount of Indian population here in America is form a Hindu background. And the majority of that population doesn't really believe in a caste system. I have never ever ill intentionally asked anyone their caste. But the way the bill is worded, It implies that anyone in my lineage can be sued based on my perceived caste (based on allegations of course) that is inherited to me against my will. That's is literally discriminatory law. The bill defines caste as: “Caste” means an individual’s perceived position in a system of social stratification on the basis of inherited status. My son who never ever knew the term caste, can be sued when he grows up if in his 40s he becomes a manager and promoted someone which not promoting someone else. Right or wrong aside, my son did nothing wrong to be automatically finding himself in a category of a "perceived caste" that can be sued for caste discrimination. Mankind should work against such categorizations including religions.
