WP: Indian Americans dominate the National Spelling Bee. Why should they take abuse on social media for it?

How exactly should white Americans react to being displaced? What are socially appropriate ways that they can express their disdain at being overwhelmed and replaced by brown people?

I only want to see white Americans winning anything significant in America or Australia or England or any of our historic homelands. I want to see Jews winning Jewish contests. I want to see my group triumph. I root for my group. I think my reaction is universal. I don’t expect that India would react with glee to white or black people winning awards in that country. I expect the Japanese to root first for Japanese and for Mexicans to root first for Mexicans.

WP: Kimble and other bee organizers were appalled by the reaction to last year’s contest, when Sriram, then 14, and his co-winner Ansun, then 13, were greeted with a barrage of racist comments on Facebook and Twitter:

“The kids in the spelling bee should only be AMERICAN”

“No American sounding names who won the spelling B. #sad#fail”

“We need an american to win this spelling bee #tiredofindians”
