A raft of evidence shows that caste discrimination has been imported from India to the United States.
Indians and Indian Americans are often held up as a “model minority” in the United States.

They are well represented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics—the so-called STEM subjects—and more and more of them occupy roles of political and social influence, including Vice President Kamala Harris.

You CAN get used to it. I have managed many projects with Indians involved, quite a few with Indians working remotely in India (programmers for the most part).
The trouble is largely accents.
you Russians are weird.
I’m not fond of, nor do my posts indicate in any way a fondness for, the caste system.
And, your lack of any historical knowledge is hilarious — “centuries of rule”? That’s 123 years - just over a century.
Why do you love Putin so much?
This American is telling you the Pole the STFU.
