I found a great link that explains the caste system http://www.beyondbooks.com/wcu91/6g.asp Also, Although it is still practised in rural ares, it is illegal to discriminate because of caste in India.

I do not have a problem with people joking about my disabilities. HOWEVER, I am the first to bark when I feel someone is being cruel. The other day, a woman commented on another woman being ‘skinny’. In a crowded room she said ‘Look at her!’ She’s so SKINNY!!!’ I could tell that this very shy and reserved woman was uncomfortable so I responded ‘That wasn’t very nice. That is the same thing as being called fat.’ To which the ignoramus replied ‘Oh, but I would LOVE to be that skinny…but only with bigger boobs’ :S Some people aren’t intentionally mean…just ignorant of other peoples feelings.

My first trip to T.O. was 4 years ago to St. Michael’s hospital (M.S. clinic) When leaving the subway, I was so disoriented. To my surprise I didn’t even have to ask for directions-2 people saw my bewildered expression and inquired about my destination. I have met MANY friendly people in T.O. from ALL walks of life, race, religion and gender. I frequent a many clubs there and have encountered MANY friendly women. To say we are all ‘cold, calculating, money-grubbing narcissists’ is a very cruel generalization and a bad attitude…and perhaps the reason you haven’t met anyone.

Canadian minimum wage ranges from $5.90 – $8.00 and I rarely experience terrible or blatantly rude servive at home. The jobs here are just as menial – I worked in a coffe shop on the midnight shift for 6 years getting paid $6/hr. serving customers, cleaning toilets …being sexually harassed-and still managed to, at the very least, smile. My fiance and I went on a shopping trip to NY . While driving down, we stopped at Dennys. The waitress wouldn’t even acknowledge my partner (because he’s East Indian? I really don’t know) and she practically threw our plates in front of us. The Host wasn’t particularily welcoming either. Only once would I say we received ‘good’ service. At Lane Bryant the staff seemed to be reasonably knowledgeable about the clothing. People there aren’t as friendly either. At home, it seems typical that people will look behind them whe going through a doorway. If someone is behind them, they will hold the door. I had TWO doors hit me (one shut hard) when some oblivious tool in front of me let it go. When I held the door for people….NOT ONE person thanked me. Will I go back? Probably. The taxes are lower there. Will I enjoy my trip? Not likely.
