Why so many Nepalis have their lastname "SHRESTHA" ?

o_o how is it racist to know about your history or heritage? Yes I don't agree with Bichitra_Kumar's "sarba-shrestha" bullshit meanings as it makes zero sense in today's world. But is it jati-badi to even bring up the name of your surname or try to question a bit of your social reality and history? These people are probably the same people who still like to cling on correcting everyone they meet that on one hand they are "Brahmins" not Bahuns, despite having no similarity with what the word conveys, and in the other hand they're the ones who say let's not talk about caste and all that bullshit.

Maybe filter out the things and avoid implying or writing anything that suggests 'higher' or 'lower'. But this does not mean completely blank out the story or the history...
