Zaila Avant Garde wins the 93rd Scripps National Spelling Bee:
Frankly, it was getting tiresome to see Indian Americans win the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Nothing against Indian Americans; I’m married to an Indian American. After Indian Americans swept the Scripps National Spelling Bee year after year, it was time to retire the Bee.
It is exciting to see African-Americans break new ground and excel in fields where they haven’t been represented before. Think GOAT Simone Biles.
