www.thenewsminute.com
In another significant moment for the movement against caste discrimination in the United States, a Bill to make caste discrimination illegal was passed by the California State Assembly on Monday, August 28, with 50 votes in its favour and only three against it. It was earlier passed by the state's Senate in May this year. With its passage in the state Assembly, California will become the first US state to ban caste discrimination. The legislation will add caste as a protected category under 'ancestry' in California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act, Education, and Housing codes.

    Unless of course, you’re lgbtq, or a woman, or an atheist, or a member of another religion, or anyone they don’t like really.

    so does Hinduism. We’re discussing caste here though, which does not exist in Christianity and Islam.

      Your argument was that Christianity and Islam preach that we’re all equal. I am saying that is not true (Or actually, that it preaches that while simultaneously preaching the opposite). It simply lacks one layer of inequality.

        Every layer of equality mattered and matters to those who face that inequality elsewhere.
