The OHRC said while caste is not a prescribed protected category, it is covered by international human rights law and hence, can be protected under the Ontario Human Rights Code.

Having to explicitly define every protected category in law seems ridiculous. Surely a description of what a protected category looks like would be more consistent and future proof.

They're created this way on purpose, to leave room for hating people in the future we might not know we hate yet. That's the type of "future proof" we're after, right?
