Hi,
So, it's a bit like affirmative action was here?  The assumption being  that 
if you are low-caste that you have to have special qualifiers in order to  
make it in--'cause you have to be stupid/bad grades, etc....  Wasn't that  the 
presumption here, too--that if you were a smart other-nationality, you would  
be 
able to be accepted--
 
People are not discriminated against other than the  low-qualifying and not 
because of their caste?  Like how people were not  discriminated against 
because they were not "White Males"?
