When a Google employee tried to host an anti caste discrimination speaker, a bunch of the Indian employees absolutely flipped their poo poo about "reverse discrimination" until she was, for all intents and purposes, fired. I'm not surprised he vetoed it.

Can someone explain it to me like I'm five why anyone would be opposed to caste discrimination legislation? Someone in one of the (four?) California threads alluded to Hindus not liking the law but didn't respond when I followed up as to why. Presumably if you're a top caste you want to keep hiring your friends from the same caste and not have to worry about legal repercussions of keeping others out? This isn't a topic I spend a lot of time thinking about except when the law came up for a vote


The stuff I saw about it was largely identical to white people talking about affirmative action. Caste discrimination doesn't exist anymore and actually the lower castes get so much help that it's really the upper castes that are discriminated against, actually.

I also saw some stuff along the lines of castes are part of Hinduism and the only reason "they" are doing this is because of hinduphobia, "they" want to destroy Hinduism, etc

Cursive is a massive waste of school time and resources and you should be embarrassed if you're boomer brained enough to think it isn't. Hopefully that's dropped before my kids are old enough to be affected

DSA is a Twitter subculture with a vestigal bankrupt organization comprised of people who would be better served in different organizations like progressive dems, psl, or food not bombs, but people who call them putinists are hilariously stupid

Having moved from florida and now voting in california, I'm noticing your elections are a different flavor of political hell than the poo poo we had back home. But y'all still have the same problem of "most/all of your candidates are cozy with the cops"

Why is it so difficult to say no to cops?

yeah

the new alameda county DA and, to a lesser degree, the oakland mayor are currently going through similar nonsense

And speaking of Safeway, there was a table setup outside mine that was I guess collecting recall signatures because it had a handwritten "Recall Pamela Price" sign taped to it, but nobody was there so I didn't get a chance to laugh in their face
