Karma my friend is not a Brahmin idea, it has been around for countless millennia and you'll find it among Buddhists and Jains as well as Hindus. The ancient Celts also knew it. Karma and reincarnation is basically the spirtual truth that you reap what you sow, that what goes round comes round, that every action has its effects, that chickens come home to roost sooner or later. People born privileged in this life (Brahmin or whatever in any given society) will not be privileged again for a long time if they just use it to live a "high life" and/or exploit others. To be Brahmin is a responsibility for the spiritual wellbeing of the whole community. A true Brahmin is someone who knows and loves God. In Kali Yuga people in power misused the teachings of religions to subjugate others (also in Europe) but just because a religious teaching has been misused doesn't tell anything about the underlying truth in it.

The only thing that is evil is humans. The idea of rebirth is not evil, but any religious of philosophical belief can be manipulated by humans to do harm or good.
The whole premises would seems to say do good now so you can reach the higher state. If you do bad now you keep suffering over and over until you learn to be good.
