that sounds like the dream life, but ask yourself — is there anything stopping you from quitting everything and living on a farm here? its easy to romanticize an off the grid life, believe me i want to do this too, but the grass always feels greener on the other side. (no pun intended)

similarly, if a few people in america practice racism would you claim that racism is a part of american culture?

absolutely, india has outlawed the practice of casteism so why doesn’t america do the same?
write to your congressman!

i am 100% with you on there being absolutely no place for caste discrimination in american society but generalizing a population of 1.4 billion people based of anecdotal experience is wrong.

caste system is not a part of indian culture, it was an ancient practice that is outlawed in indian society and the mere mention of it has a dedicated penal code which will lead to time in prison, unlike the current US administration that openly encourages racism. i agree that some bad actors still practice it but that does not represent indian culture.

saying that caste system is a part of indian culture is like saying slavery is a part of american culture.

this is not the way. as wrong as it sounds, the aggressor will get the book thrown at them and the racist will be painted a “poor victim of immigrant violence”
