I will just say a few words about critical race theory, having ordered Wilkerson's book from the library.
Regarding caste in India, the false story has already become an article of CRT faith here that the caste system in India had been foisted on the poor equalitarian primitive Hindus by their British colonizer oppressors, since the late 16th Century, and that that in turn has accounted for their industrial and societal developmental backwardness and inability to jump onto the democracy train long now rolling through their society.
Nothing could be further from the truth, going back into paleogenetic prehistory.
As the extremely liberal paleogeneticist David Reich has pointed out, Who We Are and How We Got Here, Hindu society had been exceedingly segregated, both endogamously by population group, and by caste both within and across endogamies, for tens of thousands of years, not since 1619.
These are not conclusions open to controversion by critical race theory, although the extent of current findings are subject to minimal revision by further paleogenetic and genomic study.
All the best
