    Many rich Indians in the west still treat people of lower castes like this. Even the “liberal” ones. Like in Silicon Valley there are Indians from higher castes who try to uphold the caste system and they look down on their Indian colleagues who were born in a lower caste. Even when the person of lower caste has a higher position in the company.

    And Switzerland can you also go after the rich Arabs who have Filipino slaves in their mansions in Europe.

    • can you also go after the rich Arabs who have Filipino slaves in their mansions in Europe

      maybe. If the Filipinos are in Switzerland. If there is a assumption of breach of basic human rights we can also go after them if the Filipinos are not in switzerland.

      But we would first need proof or at least reasonable suspicion that something is happening so we can start a investigation and get a search warrant.

        Okay, but could maybe you just go after the rich? For boo other reason than being rich? Because, in my experience , rich people tend to suck and that seems reason enough to investigate. Please?

        Pls Switzerland?

        Proof of suspicion in many jurysdictions is only needed for search warrant. There are things they can do without it. Like request from water company how much water is used when no people supposed to be there.

      It seems a little reductive/whataboutist to bring that up in the conversation about rich british assholes, though?

      almost like the caste system was an artificial social construct invented by the elites to ensure they stay on top
