Caste System

In my life, I don't see the caste system here in the United States.  But then again, I somewhat see some evidence of this system. Here in the Untied States, we have a lot more freedom than those in Ancient India. We are all also treated equally.
Here, in the United States, I somewhat see some evidence of the caste system. There is the President, who runs the U.S. and its government. Then, there are the celebrities and the rich people, who are making a fortune off of their career; they sometimes look down on poor people. There are the middle class people, they have some money and good jobs. Lastly, there are the poor people, who live on the street and beg people for money or they live in a homeless shelter. The poor people in our society are more like the "Untouchables" in Ancient India.
I don't really see the caste system here in the United States. Where I live, there isn't really a separation between higher class and lower class. Everyone in my community doesn't really care where people came from because we just all come together for the good of the community. Here in my society, nobody really cares if you're poor or not.
