For artists making very niche work this is a blessing though, its easier to find your audience and cheaper to broadcast your work

Im curious about it, how is it the same? Is there a racial basis to caste? My (superficial) undrerstandimg of it is that it's more of a discrimination based on social class (classism) rather than a discrimination based on race (racism). Were dalits, for example, part of a racial minority when this all started?

How do caste based injustices do not prove the existence of a caste system?

Discrimination based on caste is different than discrimination based on race, though. There is probably race based discrimination in India too, and it might intersect with caste, but conflating both probably doesnt really make sense.

Also, I dont think people really ignore people of color being racist within their countries. Most of the time when people bring up arguments stating that the people being racist are white people, its in the context of western countries with a colonial/slave trade past where systematic racism doesnt target white people.

I would argue that if someone trusts you, you have something to lose if you break their trust (you might feel ashamed, it will degrade your work conditions, etc...)

While of someone doesnt trust you already, if they catch you red handed it just confirms an already exisiting situation, so its no big deal.
