Cornel, It appears to me that Antonio's rhetorical question constitutes a generalization which suggests that certain individuals cannot be anticasteists just because they were born into a certain caste. I am wondering whether this in itself cannot be regarded as a casteist generalization. I think a true anticasteist would be completely blind to caste. S/he would never refer to anybody's caste, and never stereotype anybody based on his/her caste. S/he would never attribute by generalization any kind of limitation or behavioral trait, such as the inability to become an anticasteist, to any person, by referring to the fact that s/he belongs to a particular caste, and by virtue of it. Cheers, Santosh
