> "Don't go outdoors or you might be a victim of a mass shooting like I see in the news almost every day", and you say "that doesn't reflect the reality here"

The initial example I gave was this: "caste discrimination exists". The response I see is "oh no that isn't real".

That's like someone saying "mass shootings occur in the USA" and me saying "oh no those aren't real"

A white American could say "racism is a thing of the past or is an issue somewhere else, because I don't experience it on a day to day basis". That's what your reply makes me think of

> How can I or anyone prove a negative? I can only offer my life experiences

You're trying to use your own experience to speak on someone else's behalf with respect to discrimination that you've admitted to never experiencing. Even trying to prove a negative in this context is missing the point entirely

Then is it fair to say that caste discrimination in India is akin to mass shootings in the US? In that they happen, but not a big deal for the rest of the society? Otherwise, something would have happened by now.
