Google cancelled a talk on caste bias
&gt; After Gupta posted a link in the email group to a petition to reinstate the talk, respondents argued that caste discrimination does not exist, that caste is not a thing in the United States, and that efforts to raise awareness of these issues in the United States would sow further division.<p>&gt; Some called caste equity a form of reverse discrimination against the highest-ranked castes because of India’s affirmative action system for access to education and government jobs.<p>&gt; Others said people from marginalized castes lack the education to properly interpret Hindu scriptures around castes.<p>Wow. I did not expect saints; every person and organization will be fallible and all that. Yet this is still so... absolutely stunning.
