In a very odd exchange on CNN, Alisyn Camerota appears to make a joke about the ethnicity of Ananya Vihay, the national spelling bee champion.

Watch below:

SANSKRIT?! What was she thinking?!

And idiot Chris Cuomo just sits there guffawing. Funny, they all tried to bury Ben Sasse because he didn’t object enough to Bill Maher’s racial remark, but Cuomo gets nothing for laughing at Camerota’s racial jab. What the heck is going on these days?! Has everyone gone crazy!?

How is this OK, @AlisynCamerota? Why would you assume an Indian American was "used to using" Sanskrit? Explain how this is NOT racist. @cnn https://t.co/d5Lzw92dzT — April (@ReignOfApril) June 4, 2017

They told an Indian American girl that she's used to Sanskrit. Never thought Sanskrit would be used as a racist insult, but here we are! https://t.co/gOUM1QwKyQ — Hari Kondabolu (@harikondabolu) June 4, 2017
