The key phrase that should have caught your attention is "in India". That means that there are caste systems elsewhere in the world other than India. I cant believe you would broadcast your stupidity on the forum for everyone to witness. Next get the definition from a dictionary and read all of the uses so you wont look so stupid.Weird how you think India is the only place that has a caste system and anyone is comparing the caste system in the US to India when no one even mentioned India except you.They need to see way more than that. They need to have pointed out to them where they come from. What values, traditions, philosophies they should be holding near and dear to them. How to navigate the caste system in the US to achieve success. How to defend themselves in the event your video doesnt work out for them.
What caste system?
Don't see anyone in USA looks like this caste member....

Dear healthmyths
the caste systems we have are projected and segregated on an abstract level.
For example:
1. people with criminal records are not going to have the same rights and access as people who don't
2. people with connections with lawyers and judges, with media or corporate and govt ties,
are not going to operate by the same rules as people without legal resources, defense or connections
3. people with corporate resources for development and paying millions into campaign finances
are treated differently from people on social welfare instead of corporate welfare
4. and now, thanks to these new laws recently
a. govt employees get better insurance packages paid for with taxpayer money
while taxpayers get fined if we don't buy our own plans that either cost us more, offer less, or both;
so while we aren't exempted from penalties but have to pay more out of our pockets,
our tax money pays for these officials and staff to get exempted with much better benefits
b. people who believe in state sanctioned gay marriage are treated as "tolerant" while those who
don't believe in treating homosexuality the same as heterosexuality are labeled "bigots and intolerant"
and harassed and sued/penalized for beliefs
We already segregated by party; now laws are being passed to PENALIZE and criminalize
members of one party for their creeds unless they comply with the creeds of the other party.
Isn't that a more insidious form of social castes?
And that's on top of the division by party, calling Black Conservatives "Uncle Tom's"
and members of both parties calling the others "babykillers" (for either not criminalizing abortion
or for supporting the military efforrts).
There is a social stigma and discrimination against people of opposing party beliefs,
there are laws and fines/penalties being mandated for beliefs in opposition to the established bias
on faith-based issues, and this is in addition to the segregation already enforced between parties.
Since the major parties are divided by class, touting one as the party of the rich, while the other is for the poor,
and both blaming the other for either corporate welfare or social welfare as a burden on the public taxpayer,
isn't that parallel to social castes or classes? Where members of one are not welcomed by the other.
Almost all your points are regarding people not taking actions or taking the wrong actions.
That's how society works... but there IS NOT a "caste system" like Indian caste which is what you are comparing.
So just being the ignorant person I am, I did as I usually do checked Google.
On Google search I entered "caste system"..
About 2,230,000 results (0.28 seconds) and below WAS FIRST entry..
NOTE : Caste System in India first line!!!
