  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"?

  Best,
