LordOfMud Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 US faces a reckoning over its enduring racial caste system. (Department of Fair Employment and Housing launched a lawsuit against Cisco for caste discrimination) An Indian American engineer, who claims he was harassed by two co-workers and faced retaliation after complaining to the company. In the United States, caste does not operate with the same virulence as in countries of origin. In 2016, Equality Labs conducted the first survey on caste discrimination in the United States, by Dr. Maari Zwick Maitryei. Surveying more than 1,500 respondents, uncovered a problem that was much larger than expected: One in four Dalits surveyed reported facing physical and verbal assault, one in three faced educational discrimination, and two in three workplace discrimination. This is why California's caste case is so pivotal. The Cisco case opens up ramifications not just in California, but for all American companies with Indian employees in India and the United States that could face new legal scrutiny - particularly technology companies. Dalit women in tech face another series of challenges. One engineer reported to Equality Labs that her department supervisor discovered she was part of the Valmiki Dalit caste whose members, called "manual scavengers," were often forced to clean up excrement. Her supervisor shared this with her team and they started ridiculing her, even asking her to clean up after team meetings. She left that workplace after she was sexually harassed by one of her supervisors, and believes she was targeted in connection to the prevalence of caste-based sexual violence in India. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
