They consider caste an ethnicity.
They likely shot it down because 'caste' carries a very different meaning in American parlance. It mostly relates to wealth and they absolutely DO want to discriminate on that basis.

So I'm curious why this bill was being pushed if that discrimination is already banned then?
It was primarily Hinduphobic agenda-driven by vested interests.

You'd have to ask the bill's authors to know for sure.
If I had to bet though it was a security thing. They want caste named explicitly because a good deal of Indian immigrants are dealing with it despite it supposedly being illegal.

Why was anybody pushing for this bill if that's already the case?
