Good showing by Tajaun. He did well.

So, the names of the top three finishers were:

Sriram Hathwar,
Ansun Sujoe and
Gokul Venkatachalam

And the response, unsurprisingly was this.

For the first time in more than 50 years, two young wordsmiths were declared co-champions of the Scripps National Spelling Bee on Thursday night. However, some on social media seemed more preoccupied with their heritage than their way with words.
Sriram Hathwar, 14, of Painted Post, N.Y., and Ansun Sujoe, 13, of Fort Worth, Tex., shared the win after almost exhausting the 25 designated words in the final round.
Both boys are Indian American. In fact, the past eight winners and 13 of the past 17 have been of Indian descent, a run that began in 1999, the Associated Press reported.
The fact was seemingly too much for some on social media — who tweeted, for example, “Where are our American kids?”

Hmm. If they were born in the USA then the rules committee can't fix it.

Indians are anthropologically caucasian, but in laypeople's language it just means "white". Example of more ignorance.
