I thought you were saying there is a racial caste system like the one they outlawed in India with brahmins at the top and untouchables at the bottom. Regarding class: in the USA it is possible to attain status via capital or marriage which was not allowed in the Indian system.
Yes. Sorry, i actually should have been more specific. You are right to have thought about India sort of reflexively when I mentioned caste. Im kind of an idiot. But yeah, I was referring to the American brand of caste which is not really race based in structure, although obviously that is a major factor. It is more complex than racism as a subject, and therefore ill admit I require further study before I can talk about that in any responsible, forr lack of a better term, way.
