I wonder if they do this in Fresno. There are a lot of Hmong folks there.

It seems like English spelling bees are also usually won by immigrants. Just to prove a point, it didn't take long to find this article about a Hmong kid who was the winner in an English spelling bee.

I have absolutely NO problems with this.

Why?

From the article it’s a privately organized event being held at a Lutheran university.

So if they want to hold a Hmong spelling bee on their own time and their own dime....good for them.

I don’t know about spelling, but the Hmong were good allies, soldiers and paid a terrible price for helping us in Laos on the Plain of Jars. They kicked the Pathet Lao Commies butts.

Vang Pao was a leader. We helped him with the likes of Tony Poe, Pop Buelle and Bill Lair.

I am glad some of them made it here, a lot died on the way.
