About this listen

 In this minisode, Ken and Paul discuss how a caste system both intertwines with and differs from racism and how the distinction can help to understand inequities. They discuss: ⁃ How racism becomes easily deniable by shape-shifting and manifesting itself in covert ways. ⁃ How a caste system does not allow us to ignore structure; caste is structure and ranking. ⁃ That casteism is the investment in keeping the hierarchy as it is. ⁃ The threat of “Oppression Olympics” and last place aversion.
