So 25-50 years? That doesn't sound great for people affected today.

Why do you think codifying a ban would make the banned thing last longer? (Given you say it's naturally dying anyway)
Codifying it just makes it so people are required to remember their labels for the benefits that come from identifying as a victimized community and pass those labels on to their kids. It’s fucking terrible.
Why do you think you need to know your label? If someone thinks you're of a given caste and discriminates against you, that's still wrong, regardless if they got the label right.
For example, someone shouted some things at me (wrongly) assuming I was Jewish. That's shitty regardless and would be illegal in some circumstances.
None of those are included in the bill: https://legiscan.com/CA/text/SB403/id/2840105
But they were not prevented from happening without the bill either.

What difference do the origins make, all that matters is if you have a generation that can’t tell the difference it all dies.
Having said that, it is very easy to discriminate against someone with a different skin color. But a different caste? I truly do not know how anyone who have any idea what caste a person belonged to, or comes from. But I am very curious.
