A few ( often heard) arguments that are simply WRONG

I have a daughter and therefore I am sensitive and understand sexual harassment

I am not Islamophobic because I have many muslim friends

I am not casteist because people from other castes have married into my family or I have Dalit friends.

I treat my house help 'like family' and that is proof that I do not discriminate.

A few more ( often heard) arguments that are simply WRONG (some have been crowd sourced from those who responded)

I am not casteist because I never think of caste and we never discuss caste at home

I believe in equality and hence I 'allow' my wife to work

I cannot be islamophobic, after all I love A R Rehman and respect Abdul Kalam

I cannot be casteist because, I love Ilayaraja's music
