The Republican nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner was criticized after a series of posts on X Sunday targeting a diverse group of students at the Texas football game. Bo French shared a photo of students of South Asian descent cheering for the Longhorns after their Saturday night win over Ohio State and wrote that “social media is exposing how many Americans have been displaced by foreigners.”

In another post sharing the same photo French wrote: “I heard UT graduation this year looked like this. I didn’t believe it. The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined.

We kinda lost that argument when we let the Irish, Italians and Poles get into country.

The only reason the Germans get a pass is that King George was German, so his kinfolk got grandfathered in.

“Railroad Commissioner-small potatoes. Let him lose and let the rats paint all of us with that same brush.”

You clearly have no idea of what you’re talking about. Railroad Commissioner is a hugely important and powerful position in Texas:

What They Control

Oil and Gas: Oversees drilling permits, production rules, and environmental waste disposal for wells.

Pipelines: Manages safety and transport rules for natural gas and hazardous liquid pipelines.

Utilities: Regulates rates and services for natural gas utility companies.

Mining: Monitors surface coal and uranium mining operations.

Alternative Fuels: Promotes and sets safety standards for liquefied petroleum (LP-gas/propane)

And hard core Republicans in Texas love Bo French. It is a shame establishment Republicans in Texas are so against Republican voters in Texas.

So, you suggest prosecuting ‘Indians and Muslims’, when they are not the ones who are creating these policies and making these decisions?

I think a lot of this is largely decided by a White academic elite (the academic version of the political class who decided that the ‘Great Society’ was a healthy idea...)

You can’t blame the people who simply see a good deal and take it. You have to address it at the root.

I have to subscribe to the news source to see the controversial photo.

No thank you.

Forgot to mention that Elon Musk thinks 80% of software engineers will lose their jobs to AI.

At least we can count on Cornyn to be out there leading the charge against Republicans.

[Colorado Doug]

They were born here,

I didn't know that you knew them all personally.

DO THOSE “STUDENTS” GET USA $$$$$ FOR STUDENT LOANS????

[Round Earther]

With the Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard decision, race and ethnicity are not considered in university admissions.

With that decision, the UT students in that picture were admitted to UT on merit.

[Colorado Doug]

James Talarico, the Democratic nominee U.S. Senate, thanked Cornyn for speaking out.

[YouGoTexasGirl]

I agree with you.

If Christians, right now read The New Testament, before they go vote, and vote New Testament Biblical values....our candidates will win in an overwhelming majority. They can then wipe the crappy laws and stupid rulings and the USA/TEXAS can be reformed in probably 3 months. DEI/EQUITY/HUMANISM/PHOBIAS GONE!!!! Break the spiritual evil with your vote and God Wins BIG!!!!

They were White Christians from Western countries.

“At least we can count on Cornyn to be out there leading the charge against Republicans.”

Cornyn will only criticize Republicans and praise Democrats.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Fine.

I’m suer the South Asian Aggies are as homo as the rest of them.

[OrangeHoof]

Remember those “spelling bees” where the Asians dominated the competition? Hey, they care about football so I’m okay. At least they aren’t plotting to blow up the science building.

OTOH, we’re about 45 days from the election and THIS is what everyone is sniping about?

So, you suggest prosecuting ‘Indians and Muslims’, when they are not the ones who are creating these policies and making these decisions?

Indians and Muslims who make acceptance and hiring decisions in the US need to have the same equal opportunity laws apply to them that apply to everyone else. When you have a university program with an ethnic Indian dean and somehow, magically, 80% of the class are also ethnic Indians, that sounds like a red flag, doesn't it? It's happening, and no one is doing anything about it.

I think a lot of this is largely decided by a White academic elite (the academic version of the political class who decided that the ‘Great Society’ was a healthy idea...)

I don't doubt that for a minute. The elderly, childless white academics love it when they can bequeath their entire department to new arrivals and freeze out white males. They are nasty, evil people who don't give a damn about equal opportunity.

You can’t blame the people who simply see a good deal and take it. You have to address it at the root.

The root you're talking about happened 30 years ago. The tree is in full flower now. And American kids are paying the price.

And yet, here is the 2026 class photo of the Harvard School of Dental Medicine...



I'm sure they're not using race or gender as a factor in admissions. Right? 100% merit.

[Antoninus]

Temple University School of Dentistry class of 2026. I'm sure this was all based on merit, right?



I can almost guarantee that the folks at whatever governing body credentials dental schools put out a mandate that your school needs to graduate at least 60% women and that your student body needs to be "diverse" if you want to get your credentials renewed.

People need to wake up to what's going on. Our kids are being frozen out of their desired professions by this nonsense.
