Why do children of Indian descent dominate English-language spelling competitions?

 

 

The latest results are now official. Another child of Indian descent won a prestigious spelling contest. The latest competition was the Scripps National Spelling Bee, held over Memorial Day weekend in Washington, DC.

The 2022 winner was Harini Logan, age 14, from San Antonio. She is Indian-American, an ethnic group that statistically comprises barely 1 percent of the U.S. population.

While WAR CRIMES are happening — hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians are being intentionally targeted in Ukrainian cities, millions of refugees are flooding into neighboring countries, damage to homes and property soars into the trillions, and Russia is inflicting the worst brutality in Europe since WWII — these EIGHT REPUBLICANS sided with Putin:

Do not forget these names: Marjorie Taylor Green of Georgia, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Matt Gaetz of Florida, Chip Roy of Texas, Andy Biggs of Arizona, Glenn Grothman of Wisconsin, Dan Bishop of North Carolina, and Thomas Massie of Kentucky.
