The OHRC said while caste is not a prescribed protected category, it is covered by international human rights law and hence, can be protected under the Ontario Human Rights Code.

If "don't be an asshole" worked, we wouldn't need most of the rest of the laws. Sadly it doesn't. I don't quite understand why.

Because there is no consensus on what an "asshole" is.

"I'm not an asshole; I just tell it like it is." β€” some asshole somewhere every five minutes

Yeah. You're absolutely right. But it's fun to pretend we could all be reasonable together.
