Activists paid to call dinner guests racist

#6

Non Hindus, especially when their families have been in the cities for a few generations, can be somewhat exempt from the caste system. But most Indians you'll meet in the US are Hindus from the cities and they have benefitted in a big way from the system. These Indians typically teach their children *nothing* about the caste system at all. In fact they teach their high caste cultural values such as vegetarianism and praying in temples and wearing certain clothes as "Indian values" even though most Indians are low caste and don't participate. Most Indians will eat whatever they can get! Only the high caste are rich enough to turn down meat when it's offered.
So if you meet a second generation Indian person in the US, they are more likely to identify as a somewhat oppressed racial minority than they are to identify as a beneficiary of past racism. But in all likelihood their ancestors were the oppressors, not the oppressed.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
