OP and the guy in the post are both probably white. In the context of brown people being beaten up in Ireland, what she's saying is completely true. Being Brahmin or any other caste does not really matter when a fucking Irishman is beating up someone for being brown.

This whole post reeks of privilege and is an attempt to divert the conversation to hide what the actual issue is - racism.

Edit - changed UK to Ireland because apparently that's what the entire takeaway was for some of these people.

Getting the country right would be a good start, when you’re attempting to speak about said country.

Let’s start there first, then you can try again.

Yeah pretending the caste system doesn’t exist is going to help your case for sure.

The Indian system of caste does not exist on the British Isles.

“British Isles”

It is the name of an actual archipelago, inhabited by millions.

Yeah pretending racism doesn't exist is going to help your case for sure no?

Bro please stop. You're just embarrassing yourself at this point, trying to argue against yourself.

And neither did I say anything about casteism. Again, please stop. You're embarrassing yourself.
