> You can always ask about someone's background, or look it up.

Seems easy enough. There are only 4.6 Million possibilities to choose from.

based on the number of subcastes Govt of India identified for a caste census in 2011. https://www.deccanherald.com/content/489752/socio-economic-c...

> I assume this is how all the caste stuff surfaces.

Stop making assumptions about things that you have no clue about.

Govt of India did a caste census in 2011, they came up with 4,673,034 categories of caste, sub-caste, synonyms, different surnames, gotras in the caste and clan names [1]

At that scale, no one can tell someone's caste by asking such generic questions about hometown and family.

> but let's assume positive intentions.

This TMWNN person is literally saying this about this entire matter

>> When children get into a fight, adults intervene by separating the combatants and sending them home regardless of who is "right"

They actually see themselves as the "adult" and this matter as a children's fight even though its been ongoing for several hundred years prior to Columbus ever set sail to find India and accidentally found TMWNN's america.

And as the other commenter noted, this person has also argued in favor of deportation and blanket censorship on discussing caste matters.

I don't think its fair to continue assuming postive intentions at this point. If not racist, they are extremely condescending at the very least.

> I am not talking about censorship.

So the following is a snippet from your earlier comment where you are clearly saying that arguers as well as the arguments should not be in the US in the first place.

>> I know. I am going further, and stating that if South Asians are arguing in the US about the existence and extent of caste-based discrimination, and it's gotten to the point that a law was proposed and almost enacted, maybe we Americans should question whether we should have the arguers, as well as the arguments, in the US in the first place.

Since you specifically mention arguments, please tell us how is this not asking for censorship?

> What is the obligation for America, or Americans, to host intra-South Asian arguments and their arguers?

Its almost as if American citizens of South Asian origins don't exist. How can people of South Asian origin even be Americans? Am I right?

> When children get into a fight, adults intervene by separating the combatants and sending them home regardless of who is "right"

Americans are not "adults" of the world and others are not "children". Stop with this patronizing and condescending bullshit. The world doesn't revolve around your ass.

> I don't care. I shouldn't care. I shouldn't have to know or care in the first place!

Same. Hard Same.

Next time when one of your european self appointed "adult" attacks another european self appointed "adult", don't cry like a b---h when the rest of the world continues to live their life like it doesn't matter.

> For over 2 millenia dalits were not even allowed to enter schools or gain education.

Any source for the 2millenia part?
