You can not find a solution to the caste problem in an internet forum. You use terms like "White Guilt" and "House Nigger" which has absolutely no relevance here. You want to apply the terms coined in a different situation here.
No one is interested in a solution. Politicians need the caste system for getting elected. The so called social activists need a cause. You create imaginary enemies so that you can keep up the pretense of a fight.
But unfortunately no one bothers about historical facts.
1. Unlike the Japanese caste system, in the Hindu caste system the Brahmin is not the ruler. You talk about getting 3 seats and Brahmins not getting any. If the Brahmins wanted to rule India they would not have created a system under which the Kshatriyas were the ruling class. In the hundreds of Rajahs, maharajahs and rulers of India at the time of independence there is not even a single Brahmin.
In the last 3000 years of Indian history, Brahmins have ruled hardly for a century or so. Only one dynasty, the Kanvas were Brahmins. And did the Kashtriyas rule India? The fact is that most of the rulers of India were from the so called Shudra caste.
It is only under Democracy that Brahmins have played a major role. That again is due to their role in the independence movement. The British administration helped the anti-Brahmin sentiment, for it believed that the Brahmins were trouble makers. You better go and see the list of people who were imprisoned in the circular jail in the Andamans.
Why did the British encourage the Justice party? Because it supported the British and was against independence. Remember In Tamil Nadu the independence day was observed as a Dhukka dhinam by wearing black badges.
As far as the Brahmins are concerned you or anyone could rule India for ever. Except for some self seeking politicians the Brahmins are not interested in ruling India.
IT IS ALL YOURS.
But Brahmin-Baiting can not win elections any more.
2. The Rulers are only interested in ruling. This applies to Kings as well as democratically elected representatives. Rulers are not interested in bringing about social changes.
Chandra Gupta Mourya one of our greatest Kings and the founder of the Mourya dynasty was a Shudra by caste. What did he do to remove the inequities of the caste system? Nothing.
In Tamil Nadu every caste except the Dalits and the Brahmins have ruled for some time or the other. I am not imagining this. This is what the communities claim. Gujjars who are the descendants of the Gujjar rulers today want a scheduled tribe staus.

You will not find the voice of the liberal Brahmin on the net. Because the internet forums are dominated by emotionally surcharged people who fight against real/imaginary enemies.
You can go through the thread "Hinduism's conquest of the West" to find out about the spread of Hindu ideas in the West.
You want to know about the caste system. Read the history of India. Political and Religious. Not the scriptures.
BTW if you want a Dalit to be appointed as the priest of Thirupathi temple Kancha could approach the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. Why did not the C.M appoint a Dalit as a priest? Why did the Tamil Nadu government straight away appoint Dalits as priests in all the temples? If only the Brahmins were opposed to it why bother about an insignificant community. Has the C.M of U.P appointed Dalits as priests in all the U.P temples?
If a Dalit become the Prime Minister of India will they pull down all the dividing walls in villages? Will it immediately end the two tumbler system? My friend talks about Theetu because he really does not understand the prevailing system. It is inhuman to say the least. But no Brahmin is involved in this or the river of blood in the Thamraparani.
Instead of fighting the real enemies, you choose to fight the Brahmins because they are easy game and do not have the numbers.
