there's a difference between talent and physical traits. have wings/horns/neither/both could be grounds to impose that one is superior to the others. so if racism occurs in humans it could have ponies

a caste system is defined has a form of social stratification characterized by endogamy (the practice of marrying within a specific ethnic group, class, or social group), hereditary transmission of a style of life which often includes an occupation. As far as we know the pony didn't form families outside their repective tribes, so it's highly possible that such a system (a variant of it anyway) existed.

naturally being a fictional animated cartoon for children they would never explictly say these things for fear of the consequences that would occur.
