Preliminary Thoughts on Potential Constitutional Flaws in SB 403, a California Proposal to Prohibit Caste Discrimination
The text of the bill (in Section 1) provides in relevant part that:
“Caste” refers to an individual’s perceived position in a system of social stratification on the basis of inherited status. A system of social stratification on the basis of inherited status may be characterized by factors that may include, but are not limited to, inability or restricted ability to alter inherited status; socially enforced restrictions on marriage, private and public segregation, and discrimination; and social exclusion on the basis of perceived status.
The bill’s findings (also embodied in the text of Section 1 of the law) go on to say that:
Caste discrimination is present across South Asia and the South Asian diaspora, as well as around the world. While caste systems are strongly associated with South Asia, similar systems exist in regions including, but not limited to, South America, Asia, and Africa. Caste discrimination is also found across communities of religious practice.
Inasmuch as “caste” means a system of social stratification on the basis of inherited status, wouldn’t caste discrimination already be prohibited by provisions outlawing discrimination on account of “ancestry” or other prohibited bases? The answer, according to SB 403 itself, is yes. The bill states, again in Section 1, that:
The amendments in this act are declarative of and clarify existing law. This act shall not be construed to mean that caste discrimination is not already prohibited under existing law, including by protections for religion, ancestry, national origin, ethnicity, race, color, or any other protected characteristic under existing law.

The average Muslim is peaceful. They don't make it a habit to murder Christians and women. Before the Rothschilds moved the Khazarians and the Ashkenazi Jews into Palastine with the signing of the Belfour Declaration and the NAKBA, there was no violence in Palastine between Christians, Muslims, Jews For centuries they lived in peace. The Zionists, Mossad CIA, both Bush, HRC, Obama etc funded, armed and inserted terrorist cells called: Hamas, ISIS, Hezbollah. (The Zionist even helped Mao set up the CCP in China) They used these terrorist cells whenever they need to create a False Flag, which is used as an excuse to go to war. (Oct 7th, "Weapons of Mass Destruction" 911 etc) after the NAKBA, being falsely accused for 911, the war in Afghanistan, now the genocide in Gaza, there are alot of angry Muslims. Can you blame them? Some joined these terrorist organizations because they hate Israel and the United States. They are the radicals who are beheading Christians, ...
I will have less of a presence on The Torrid Tribe Community. We have very little activity here. This is a sign to me that members have found other social media resources that they are spending more time in. I am happy to see less censorship on social media in general. I started The Torrid Tribe 4 years ago when we were in a state of censorship and lockdowns. It was a difficult time and this was a haven and sanctuary for so many.
I will be lightly posting things here to give you all content to see. This community will always be open to everyone and will resurrect to its full capacity if subscribers show they want it fully operational again with full time administration.
Thank you for being a part of this community. Sending each of you hugs.
