2008 - 2018! That makes it 11 years in a row now, not 10! Also, 2014-2016 had co-champions - all Indian-American! The makes the total list of consecutive "winners" of Indian descent 14!

[@JitendraYadav-nb4tw]

12 years in a row now. They had to make 8 kids win in same year to bring a white into winners :) They were sure if they further ask them, the white girl would be the first to loose.

[@kumarvikramaditya9636]

13 now

[@shubham0803]

This guy looks like HANUMAN

[@thana64]

Most local Americans and local Australians can never ever write a paragraph without making a grammatical or spelling error. Also, most local Americans and local Australians can NEVER EVER get their phonetics right. Of course they are good with spoken English but NOT with written English. I feel strongly about this because most of them have a superiority complex with regards to being a native English speaker even though they cannot write without mistakes to save their lives.

[@neigeepierrot4694]
