Caste and Misconceptions: The NCRI Report’s Alarming Findings on DEI

Caste Files14 Jan, 2025News

The NCRI report on caste reveals critical flaws in understanding and addressing caste dynamics in the U.S. Based on a study of 847 participants, most lacking lived or anecdotal experience with caste, the findings highlight how Equality Labs’ materials promote perceptions of bias and microaggressions. Instead of fostering unity and equality, these interventions create division and prejudice, particularly against perceived "upper caste" individuals. The report underscores the need for more objective, informed approaches to achieving genuine social harmony and inclusivity.
