However, after going through some very embarrassing pickup lines and dodgy profiles, you just might find someone worth your time. Oh, that sounds almost like a modern fable. Let us tell you about a Bumble profile discovered by a Twitter user named Disha.
Disha shared the post on her Twitter account with the caption: “There is no caste bias among the educated.”

You can see the bio on the screenshot, and the ‘about me’ says: “I love the idea of love. Hopelessly married to Mac. I like to drive to random places and enjoy the view. Let’s uninstall this app together. Some non-negotiables: 1. Brahmin girl 2. Non-smoker”
Many may argue that it is the guy’s decision because he does not want any obstacles in his relationship if it becomes serious.
Let’s see how the internet reacted to this
The post has garnered more than 595,000 views, 291 retweets, 330 citations, 3,135 likes, and 181 bookmarks. There were several comments that debated the words of the bio.
One commenter speculated: “Maybe he knows his family/parents won’t want a non-Brahmin and he’s clearly not looking for something casual, so it’s best to set expectations. That being said, being hopelessly married to Mac is already a sad one, Sad disqualifier. Unfortunately, these types of software have little to no gameplay.”

Another person commented: “How can dating preferences be discriminatory? So if I say I prefer only white men or Indian men, am I being racist? Or, in that case, if I only prefer men, am I being sexist? What nonsense. Let the people in less peacefully choose their partners.”
How can dating preferences be discriminatory? So if I say that I prefer only white or Indian men, am I being racist? Or in that case, if I only prefer men, am I being sexist? How absurd. May people at least choose their partners in peace 🙄

One commenter commented, “Shame on him for being honest, and definitely shame on him for daring to personally choose who he dates!”

“People don’t like it when someone calls it quits after dating because of caste, so it’s okay if you’re clear from the start. Maybe your family won’t accept inter-caste marriage,” wrote another.
You’ll see that people don’t like it when someone cancels after dating someone because of caste, so it’s okay if you’re clear about it from the start. Your family may not accept inter-caste marriage.
