Caste sytem is structural racism and needs to be abolished in India, and shouldnt be mirrored in any other country.
Wait, that's a thing here? Ok.
Within tech it's apparently an issue, where certain classes are intentionally passed over for promotion if the manager is Indian too.
The whole acceptance of cultural differences is important, but within reasonable limits. Discrimination of any type should not be tolerated.
Another one that always bugs me is: Middle Eastern guy marries a young lady. BAD! (And it is). Indian dude living in California in the 21st century marries a lady that was chosen by his mother and her parents to be his wife (she had little say in it): That's a cultural thing and we accept it...
Why?
That's not my understanding about how modern arranged marriages most commonly happen in the Indian community. For the most part it isn't really that different from a blind date that your parents arranged and participate in overseeing. Many people go through several arrangements before they find someone suitable to marry. Also many people work within both the westernized system of dating and the arranged system until they find a partner. For the vast majority of modern arrangements both parties have broad latitude to back out.
Only in the most conservative and extreme households do people receive coercive pressure to marry against their will. You'll find that more in rural India than among expatriates.
Also many men and women still prefer the arranged system as they find dating cumbersome, awkward or time consuming.
The reason you should accept other cultures is partly because of how much ignorance and presumptive reasoning your carry into you decision making process...
Good!
Am I missing something? What is the delay in Newsom signing the bill? Is he waiting for the wind to blow the right direction or something?
A significant part of the silicon valley deep pockets are opposed to the legislation
They either don't want to deal with having to follow the law and/or feel this law is racist to Indians.
Is discrimination not banned in general in the US?
