There's a spirited discussion going on at Wall Street Journal Opinion after my op/ed--nearly 400 comments. Some clear thinking insights from non-South Asians tells me we're getting through--Brown University seriously screwed up on "caste."

I think the real issue here is something that Suhag A. Shukla can't say in a The Wall Street Journal op-ed: that 'caste' discrimination, among all the thousands of forms of discrimination in the world, is being singled out as part of a systematic campaign to discredit Hindus, and by extension, India.

Are you one of those confused by what I meant when I said that "caste is an administrative construct...that resulted from colonial British censuses?" Well this letter to @wsjopinion nails why I wrote that! Do read and do your research.

From 2013: In a survey of white California adults, they generally favor admissions policies that place a high priority on high school grade-point averages and standardized test scores. But when these white people are focused on the success of Asian students, their views change.

Having a wonderful time at #RNA23 in Singapore w/ Divya Kolakada Michael Cortázar 😊 Great science, and met so many old friends and made new ones (as one does at the RNA Society meetings!)
