Varna and one more

[ken knight]

Namaste all,
Are there any divisions in varna in the kali yuga?
 I thought that I read once that in these times we are
all sudras.  As a mleccha I want to keep studying
sruti even though I believe that there is a great deal
of discolouring in the light of the purusha by this
mind.
Om sri ram
