California is on the verge of becoming the first state to ban caste discrimination, as legislators voted Tuesday to forward SB403 to the desk of Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat.
Mr. Newsom, a Democrat, is expected to sign the bill outlawing discrimination based on a person’s caste background. Seattle passed a similar law in February.
California lawmakers contend that caste culture continues to govern interpersonal relations within groups originating in South Asia. This spurred them to add caste to protection regarding a person’s ancestry. The bill lists examples of discrimination within the caste system as “inability or restricted ability to alter inherited status; socially enforced restrictions on marriage, private and public segregation, and discrimination; and social exclusion on the basis of perceived status.”
“Today is a sad day. California has reawakened its racist past in passing legislation that demonizes and targets South Asians and Hindus. Fifty California legislators chose to side with anti-Hindu hate groups rather than showing moral courage and upholding the Constitution,” Hindu American Foundation Executive Director Suhag Shukla said in a statement Aug. 28, when the bill made it past the California State Assembly on a 50-3 vote.
