It's because of the caste system.

Racism in general is inherently systemic, not a single human is born racist. “If you can convince the lowest white man (or Indian) he’s better than the best colored man (or a lower caste), he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.” - Lyndon B. Johnson

Shit is so awful it makes American racism look quaint.

My beef is when they bring that bullshit to the states. Like "Nah nigga I ain't playin this game with you. Take that shit back to Bangladesh."
Bad enough we gotta deal with the Dominican Delusion.

Nothing against Indians at all, but that caste shit needs to stay in the subcontinent.

Should've put an /s. It was supposed to read as an unhinged Reddit rant. Honestly surprised by the upvotes.

The caste system isn't based on race. It's based on ancestral profession. You have people of the same ethnic group belonging to different castes. India has made caste-based discrimination illegal and there is a system of affirmative-action for the historically disenfranchised.
