Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents
by

Race is about skin. Class is about external things that one might be able to hide. Caste goes down to the bones. And America's bigotry -- our inequities about skin, gender, age, ability, country of origin -- boil down to caste. It's why those who are downtrodden are often quick to trod upon those in their own groups.
Wilkerson explains all this and it's history in the United States. Did you know that we got so good at teaching people to stomach slavery that Hitler learned from us?
