Seems @HinduAmerican's intervention in the @CalDFEH vs. @Cisco lawsuit sparked an amicus brief from South Asian activists/academics. And typically, @thecaravanindia features that brief in a piece attacking HAF, without presenting the crux of our legal argument.
So allow me 1/n

Caravan argues that HAF's motion asserts that the US Constitution's religious freedom means Hindus should be allowed to discriminate.
Why? Because caste discrimination is intrinsic to Hinduism.
Yes, Caravan publishes the ludicrous smear that we want to allow discrimination.

@CalDFEH's case is unconstitutional & promotes racist stereotypes. State doesn't solve a problem by creating a new one-solution to discrimination is not more discrimination.

Repeating ad nauseum the nonsense that caste hierarchy is described in the Purusha Suktam of the Rig Veda and so is intrinsic to Hinduism doesn't make it true.
@swamihaf explains Rig Veda's primordial man does not correlate to conceptions of hierarchy. 4/

Nowhere in the Purusha Suktam is varna claimed to be hereditary! Upanishads & Gita define varna as one’s character and ability to serve others. Most importantly: Varna is not caste!
