> If we're excluding slavery as a de facto caste system
I agree that caste and slavery have overlap, but banning slavery was about making our country more in line with its founding values. America is an evolving project, not a single point in time.
We still have a long way to go, and are regressing in many ways of late, but still more in line with those values than we were at the founding.
