"Come on Folks!..Spelling Bees dont follow the script for a Brave New America "
Rereading the article, I think the answer to my question is that non-whites succeeding suggests that America is not the racist society that liberals love to trash. So evidence of non-white success that is not attributable to government assistance (like racial quotas) needs to be belittled. I'm Indian-American. The author of the article is Indian but certainly does not speak for me.
“the answer to my question is that non-whites succeeding suggests that America is not the racist society that liberals love to trash.”
That is exactly the point. The left hates mainstream conservative America that looks at content of character, and ability, and not color of skin.
It is 100% in line with Biblical Christianity as well, and they hate that.
I’ve noticed there is a concerted push back effort to smoke screen the success of massive numbers of minorities.
I can see the left making up a new term to hide it called Non-Caucasian White so they can go around saying that whites have all the jobs and wealth etc...
If someone travels to this country from somewhere, anywhere- puts their nose to the grindstone, works hard and studies and keeps out of trouble, that’s America. You literally can be whatever you want to be using that formula, with a supportive and intact family. Unfortunately, we’re bussing in millions of people who just want free Doritos
Looking at the source article, I saw one feature of the contest that was of concern to me — the fellow who fainted on stage. I would not care if it was Indians from India or white hillbillies from Appalachia — too much pressure takes the joy out of it.
The spelling bee is not subjective, so you can’t just declare the black team the winner, like in a debate contest.
I am an American of Asian ascent. I am NOT a hyphenated anything................
The author also avoids a very large elephant in the room: many white spelling bee contenders are home-schooled. A disproportionately large number versus their peers, in fact.
The author is looking for racism through a microscope, and still not finding it. As long as everyone obeys the same rules, there is nothing wrong with Indians winning a disproportionate amount of bees. There is also nothing wrong with others noticing this and wondering why, and trying to do better, as long as the answer is not to tear the Indians down, but to raise others up.
Well, how can this be? Minorities are not winning the spelling bees! This must be due to discrimination! Got to change the bees. Eliminate culturally biased words. No words like Autochthonous. Instead use words like ho, bling, da hood and crib.
That’ll even the obviously unfair playing field, and get more of those underprivileged oppressed minorities to win dat spelin be!
