It says nothing about "asian people". Verbatim quote, in full:

> The contest is open to individuals or teams of individuals who are legal residents or citizens of the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, Canada, New Zealand, or Australia.

Interestingly if you follow through to the full T&C's [1], they add exclusions:

> ...not located in the following jurisdictions: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Syria, and the following areas of Ukraine: Donetsk, Luhansk, and Crimea.

Showing that the only explicit exclusions are aimed at the usual gang of comprehensively sanctioned states.

Nationality, not ethnicity.

Turks are Asian. Russians are Asian. Indians are Asian. Etc.

They were probably just wondering why it's limited to Five Eyes + EU.

It'll likely be to do with financial responsibility due to where the funding comes from. They have an obligation to check that they are not sending funds to a terrorist group to solve code bounties, etc.
