The Washington Examiner’s Becket Adams had it right; these are all mainstream media takes just from today:

Among those is the New York Times’ piece on how America’s enduring caste system puts it on par with India and Nazi Germany, and there’s no longer a Nazi Germany, so it’s just us and India.
Via @NYTimes:
"Throughout human history, three caste systems have stood out."
India, Nazi Germany, United Stateshttps://t.co/Ez0IUPg8Jf

That’s it, as far as evidence that America’s “caste system” was on par with India’s or Nazi Germany’s.
you gotta wonder how many editors looked at this before it went to print

So this is what a dying paper looks like

I’m surprised they added India.
Most racial demagogues only seem to know American racial history and the Nazis.

Embarrassingly inaccurate and biased take on human history. Difficult to imagine a paper publishing this..but I’m not surprised by much anymore
— Builder (@HodlNerd) July 1, 2020
"Throughout history…." Right. It's not as if early civilizations usually attributed the existence of commoners and nobility to separate acts of creation. Nothing caste-like in a social system legitimated by an idea like that!! Ignorami.

Wait till they find out about Japan. Or China. Or Europe. Or literally every country on the planet except the United States.

Japan and China had explicit caste systems.

Yes, all those feudal kingdoms weren't so bad. But man, the US.
— MN (@gvillesasquatch) July 1, 2020
So nothing about Europe's feudal systems lasting between the 9th and 15th centuries which still grant titles and privileges to people today huh?

Hilariously wrong, and statistically so, but beyond that, how is it that South Africa didn't "stand out" to you? How little editorial oversight and fact checking could actually be going on there?
— BlueStateLibertarian (@Hub_Libertarian) July 1, 2020
hey I'm an INDIAN and I can assure you that the US is WAYYYY better than India-throughout history

Stunning. But then, this is the kind of person churned out by the educational system since the '60s and '70s. So maybe not so stunning.

But only in America is the supposed caste system dictated by work ethic…and the Democrat Party.

Throughout history only three newspapers could have publish this paragraph,
Pravda, Der Stürmer, and the New York Times.— haim (@haim_vanunu) July 1, 2020
It actually angers me that this stuff is getting published.
— varyar (@varyarpol) July 1, 2020
The author doesn't know what a caste system means.

An example of The Big Lie

I feel like the author isn't gonna be pushing for a colorblind, gender blind meritocracy as the solution.

She’s part of the 1619 crew. Big surprise! I wish folks like her would make these silly statements in front of real historians. What about the Japanese and the Burakumin? The Spartans and the Helots? The Russian peasant class?

Lol, liberals can talk about caste, but never, ever class. It’s amazing!

Not surprising that the Times would throw India under the bus but not China.
