The Caste system. Let me explain.
Every race on the planet has neighbors.
Every race on the planet has looked at their neighbors.
And every race on the planet has judged their neighbors.
The Europeans looked at the world and said it was completely pathetic and needed to be beaten into shape.
The Chinese built a wall and said everyone beyond it was a barbarian of no worth.
The Japanese did the same, but the ocean was their wall.
The Aztecs raided their neighbors, seeing them as only useful for sacrifice.
The Russians looked towards the east and said they would take it all, and so they did.
The Africans look at Europeans supressing every urge and call them domesticated.
Everyone looks at their neighbor and sees someone inferior to them.
The Indian looked at his neighbors.
And turned to another Indian and and said YOU ARE DALIT INFERIOR TO ME
Imagine being the only race in the world that had to develop intra-racial racism because you couldn't lie to yourself and say you were superior to any other race.
That is the Indian.
The bottom rung.
Even the Sentinalese have looked upon their neighbors, and called them inferior.
Literal savages. An almost entirely uncontacted tribe whose most advanced weapon is a primitive longbow.
They saw their neighbors come on iron ships and laughed at them.
Because not even iron ships can elevate an Indian above another being.
