I had not realized this is a problem, but with the influx of large numbers of people from India to work in the technology businesses in the area, apparently some of them were discriminating against other Indians on the basis of caste.  I wonder if Silicon Valley will be the next area for this type of regulation.

Obviously, they had to do this before Nikki Haley takes over.

I mean, why else would someone of Indian descent run as a Republican, but to impose the caste system?

Seattle bans castle discrimination?

But castles SHOULD be discriminated against! They're big and wasteful of resources! They're ugly and make Seattleites feel ugly about themselves! They're strong and easy to defend, and we can't have Seattleites defending themselves against crimin.... er... morally and socially variable individuals! Worst of all, castles are expensive, and we need to tax the rich until they are of less than modest means and redistribute wealth that would otherwise be used to build or maintain castles as reparations!

We need Seattle CHOP! Castle Hating Original People!
