Buddha believed that Birth does not make one a priest or an outcaste,Behaviour makes one either a priest or an outcaste.As Hindu caste system divided people into 4 groups-priests, warriors, traders and labourers.Buddha believed in equality. So I think it can be the last option- They believe that the caste system promotes poor karma.But I am a bit confused..
