I really enjoy the way that English people don't even realize how ridiculous they seem when they casually use caste-based insults.

Why do you think it is ridiculous out of interest?

Here in North America everything must be PC, especially on an internet forum. For instance, if jimm's story was instead posted by FlyWF, you wouldn't be able to tell the race, gender, appearance, class, etc. of any of the characters in the story. In fact, he may have created fake profiles for each person to create a perfectly diversified and non-stereotypical crowd, just to be safe.

Also, no one but the English would make responses to Fly's post like 'Wow, a successful, well dressed elderly puerto rican man was beat up by a slender clean looking asian girl while some old black women watched porn on their laptops, seems weird'. No one but the English would find anything strange about that story because only the English are so prejudiced as to judge people by appearance.
