    Yep that’s a prejudiced mindset alright, but as you are all the same “race” in that system, it’s bigotry based on skin colour, which is similar but different. A racist would put you all in the same bucket.

    To be clear, it’s possible to be racist, ethnocentric, xenophobic, and classist all in the same breath, and each is a different prejudice.

    Caste can be very much like racism sometimes, but it’s still a different system of discrimination.

        Thanks, fixed, left it plural by accident. Racists believe in human races, breaking down into groups based on continents and general appearance. Asians, Europeans, Africans, Americans, etc. It is superficial and unscientific but the groups of Asians you are referring to as prejudiced towards one another would all be seen as one race and on the same level of their stupid hierarchy, so not racism.
