So yes you could very easily have read something like that. And more reading would be required for background and context to figure out who's telling the truth in different situations
Slightly off topic I am anticipating discussions and media reports in the next few years where the antipathy between two groups manifests as clear discrimination by both groups towards the other. But if neither group is clearly in a stronger socio-economic then how will we describe and talk about that problem. To be clear I think these situations exist already but I don't think they are being reported in.
But I can't see that happening in Silicon Valley. There's too many Brahmins for other castes to be able to discriminate against them.
