> I thought that was weird, and then started googling their last names and caste systems in India on a hunch.

You saw people asking for opinions from a senior member and your first thought was casteism? How does one even make that leap?

Let me clarify my point here. It was not that I 'saw people asking for opinions', it was the whole interaction. Literally, is was shocking. The silence, the agreement, and everything else. People that had made a point before were afraid to express it. People that were speaking did not speak anymore. The incorrect path was taken, and it was not the first time I've seen this behavior. I look up everything I suspect online, and I don't think that's making a leap. It is simply using tools available to shine a light on the truth.
