Real Talk: The Caste System
What Is A Caste System?
The term caste is described as a hereditary and endogamous community restricted to people of the same economic or occupational, spiritual, and social class. The concept stemmed from the Spanish, Italian and Portuguese words casta and casto, which hold the meaning of “race and lineage” and “pure or chaste”, respectively. In Latin, casto also holds the meaning “chaste”, which originated from the term castus, suggesting “clean, pure and separated”.
