Some valid points, I admit. But as a tiny minority, even within 'upper castes', Brahmins are simply scapegoated though every caste is blameworthy.

First off, we Brahmins have adapted very well to modern times despite structural (and insidious) reverse discrimination for decades.
Secondly, whatever criticism Brahmins deserve applies more to other upper castes with land, businesses, political power, etc.

The story of caste in India isn't analogous to that of race in the West. It's inappropriate and lazy to equate the two.
The thread is an example of rampant #BrahminScapegoating that is painfully common in popular media as well. This #AntiBrahminism isn't that different from #Antisemetism.
