Over 90% of Indian techies in the US are upper-caste Indians
ITT: (Possibly) &quot;Upper caste&quot; Indians claiming:<p>1. This is due to a few bad apples<p>2. Reservation is the real problem (no it&#x27;s not)<p>3. I don&#x27;t do it therefore it doesn&#x27;t exist<p>I can tell you by experience the amount of concious and unconcious bias regarding caste amongst Indians both in India and abroad is ridiculous! I&#x27;m light skinned so people assume I&#x27;m &quot;upper caste&quot; and speak with me as such. My last name doesn&#x27;t give away my caste either. I don&#x27;t broadcast it or even like to talk about it because growing up I experienced innumerable instances where people&#x27;s behaviors instantly changed when they found out. Some mild, some extreme but it was there.<p>I grew up in a metro so this isn&#x27;t a backward ass village. My college fucking put the caste next to people&#x27;s names on notice boards for things like seating arrangements for an exam. How the fuck is a person&#x27;s caste relevant? This is normal for you?<p>Even in the US, people casually either slip in sentences or assume castes and speak as such. Fortunately, there are plenty of people (regardless of their caste - I never ask&#x2F;care) that feel the same way. Funny enough, the people who care about caste also seem to be racially biased in my anecdotal experience. :|
