Brahmin Bashing Justified?

Yet people vilify Brahmins of practicing Untouchability.

Despite my vigorous checking, I am yet to find a Brahmin being accused of practicing Untouchability and charged under the Law!

Other Communities have been named.
Then the stock answer, is that Brahmins consider as Theettu, and wash themselves or the place where they( SC /ST) sat.

This is a matter of.personal habit, though some smritis suggest this and they are not being followed by every one,

Why No Shiva Gotra Among Brahmins

In comparison between Rama and Krishna. while Rama was aware of Himself as Brahman occasionally, Krishna was all the time aware of it and He, like Shiva did not need to Realize Himself.

And Krishna's Children were killed and He was left with no progeny, consequent to Gandhari's Curse.

However Shiva Gotra is found among communities other than Brahmins for it had been a practice to denote Shiva as the Father when one is unable to trace the ancestry.
