Face it, Asians and a lot of Jews are better parents. There is nothing they do that our grandparents did different.
Not taking away from the champ....just sayin....
The spelling bees are dominated by Asians and Indians.........Good for them
Pselling bees.
Word is, it’s a big bizzness, but only for the most industrious.
It would be interesting to follow up on the careers of the spelling bee champions of the last 20-30 years.
Also, many of the champions are of Indian descent (India the country), so, why isn’t there a call for those kids and parents to stop studying harder than other kids and making those other kids feel less valuable, especially black and Hispanics?
Congrats to him. If a white student had one it they would have declared spelling bees to be racist and a threat to woke values of inclusion and diversity.
Immigrants come here to improve their lives and the good ones come legally and most of them have good strong families. Dev to that in saying why he did so well - parents that gave him encouragement and support - parents showed they believed in him.

I never saw the point of spelling bees.
Who spells words without writing them down?
You mean like a geoduck?
They should have given him a word like pissantophile, that is a person who love politicians.
I remember several years ago people arguing that the word yacht in a spelling bee was “racist” since blacks don’t know anything about yachts.
In case you’ve never had a child participate in the National Spelling Bee, each year a book is published of the words that they may be asked to spell. It’s a big book, and there are many hard words, but it’s not like they must study the entire dictionary. Highly disciplined students - often because of their very achievement oriented parents - study these words RELENTLESSLY. Several home-schoolers have won because they make studying them part of their daily curriculum.
