California could soon become the first state in the country to officially ban caste discrimination.

Moving forward: Sen. Aisha Wahab’s (D-CA) anti-caste discrimination bill, Senate Bill 403, received an overwhelming 50-3 vote during Monday’s state assembly and is now being returned for a re-vote before Gov. Gavin Newsom signs the new bill into law. The latest move came months after Seattle became the first city in the country to ban caste discrimination.

Her reaction: In a statement on Monday, Wahab, who is the first Muslim and Afghan American elected to the state legislature, thanked those who supported and voted for the bill, including “the numerous civil rights organizations, legal organizations, and bar associations across the state and nation.”

If they weren’t in our countries in the first place, there would be no need to ban their bad behavior.

If those foreigners had stayed in their own countries, America wouldn’t have needed a dumbass law banning something that doesn’t occur in America. Forget the law and just send them home! That’s their problem.

It’s moral preening. Angling for some sort of feel-good social credit vis a vis a non-problem (in California).

On the other hand, this costs little or nothing, vs some other things of this sort.

Luckily (?) there is no purity of any sort in CA. Its all just tribal or class politics.

Are we still allowed to burn widows on their late husband’s funeral pyre?

Could legacy college admissions be considered as part of a caste system? Perhaps even hiring family members?

It's funny you mention that, social credit is exactly a caste system.

Useless garbage. I guess they want to talk about something other than CA’s homelessness, welfare, illegal immigration, violence, exodus, etc.

Virtue signaling crap...

They don’t believe in a caste system, but they have no problem being more equal than the rest of us.

Yes. It's like coming up with a law banning slavery. I guess they didn't read our constitution so they think they have to write new laws.

OK - define “caste discrimination”.

So even a dummy can understand it.

Nope, meant it exact in the General Patton sense.

Just another virtue signaling effort that will be entirely ignored
by the targeted group.
