Has Wilkerson created a grand, unified systemic oppression theory and does her theory suggest a new approach to addressing the global north-south caste system?
"We, in America, don't have a racism problem nearly as much as we, in the whole world, have a caste problem." There is definitely a correlation. It makes a lot of sense.
In many ways, if we addressed the class system with equality in the design of the system itself, racism should shift to being a lot more marginalized. Recognizing that there are shifts as nothing sits on an on/off toggle switch. As such ... absolutely remove the caste/class structure and let that shift happen. We would all be in considerably more vibrant community as a result.
