The Seattle City Council added caste discrimination to the city's anti-discrimination laws on Tuesday, making Seattle the first city in the United States to do so.
In the United States, communities of South Asian ancestry have become more vocal in their calls to outlaw caste-based discrimination. However, some Hindu Americans are opposing the movement, claiming that the legislation unfairly targets their community.
The issue of caste discrimination remains a topic of debate and controversy in South Asian communities around the world, including in the US, and the outcome of legal challenges to the Seattle ordinance remains to be seen.
