Thanks, Michael. This is a complicated topic so I'm leery of wading in too deep, but it's notable both that "caste" seems accurate, and that unlike some societies where caste systems are more transparent, the U.S. adds a layer of gaslighting via the story of meritocracy and the implication that "people get what they deserve."
