    I would ask you to not use the adjective “yellow” for asian people, it is a heavily dehumanizing term for them used by racists as far as im aware.

      Yes, that’s the assumption in my comment. Brown is also insulting to me if someone else is referring to me that way. So that’s my impression of the caste law just being a repetition of racism. Caste=Race it’s just another way to separate us by the way we look to others.

        Caste and Race have definitive difference between them tbh. One of the only things common between them, as you mentioned, is that it inspires xenophobia in a lot of people over essentialist arguments.
