Memorable 5.9.25 " Untouchable: Laughing Out Caste - " too many F words

He talked about being a "dalit " in India meaning "Untouchable". India has different castes which are abhorrent to  American sensibilities. 

Yet in the Bay Area there are many India - Americans ( not to be confused with Native Americans sometimes still called Indians) who may come to USA from a high caste and may carry some of these despicable biases with them. 

The film raises the issues for India but not necessary USA. Manjeet Sarkar would also be better off using less F words. This could be an instant turn off for some and lessen the reach & impact & main point: the problem of ELITISM 👎😡
