"Caste of present birth is based on the karma of previous birth. We call a cow a cow by its birth, not by its karma" ( we don't check if the cow behaves like a cow. It is by birth)

- Puri Shankaracharya

Source : From 2:18 of

To summarize, Puri Shankaracharya explains that, based on Karma of previous birth one is born as Brahman or Shudra. If a Shudra follows his birth karma and serve other Varnas in this birth, he will be born as a Brahman in the next birth and vice versa.
