Your answer is that nothing would change in the culture, politics, economic, etc landscape of Texas regardless of its demographics?

I was assured recently by resident F16ers that white nationalism and Christian nationalism were just made up constructs.


And I was assured that replacement theory was a conspiracy construct. Yet here we are.


It is definitely a fact that you will get replaced in society by people that are smarter and work harder than you. HTH.


Should someone stronger than you deserve your house? Why not? It's a meritocracy, after all? If you aren't strong enough to defend your house, I guess you just don't deserve to live there

Change is guaranteed. Same thing happened with German and Czech immigration in the late 1800s, Mexican immigration, Vietnamese immigrants in the 70s.

Why are you convinced change must be negative?

Hang on, you said nothing would change if the demographics changed. How could we even notice if nothing changes?

I was more pissed off at the score of the game than I was at those guys for showing up, cheering and having a good time.

But I'm tapping out on this one. My life has been enhanced by friendships with people from all over the world, and I'm good with it.

But I respect that for others, people immigrating here has had a very different impact leaving them in a different space.
Consistency: It's only a virtue if you're not a screw-up.

Slight tangent but still disturbing from the UT system.



Just so we're all on the same page, I monitor this specific group at the University of Texas at Dallas like a hawk.

I check in with the State Dept, the Visa Consular office in DC, DHS, and the university itself, every single month.

They're all still here, still employed, still enrolled, with the exception of one student who now works for 'American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), a powerful Palestinian lobbying group whose co-founder was recently arrested by ICE for terror ties and visa fraud.

These mugshots are the professors and students (many are foreigners here on visas) who were arrested at the pro-Palestine rally last year on campus.

They called for a global uprising against Jews and Israel. Some of them screeched their brains out in Arabic, chanting for the destruction of America.

One professor from India (top row, 3rd), fought with the police as they attempted to disband the riot and arrest students.

Not a single one of these individuals has been fired, expelled, or lost their visa. NOT. ONE.

In fact, some of these students had their visas revoked by the State Department, only to have them reinstated.

Let me say that again: The STATE DEPARTMENT reinstated their visas.

Visa revocation is NOT deportation. If this is truly "the most transparent White House in history," Americans deserve the operational numbers: How many students and professors have actually been removed from the United States since January 2025?

How many? From which campuses? And which countries did they return to?

OPEN THE BOOKS, DHS and State Department. Let's see what's doin.

The demographic change people call replacement is real.

It's not some secret plot though. It was dumb, ill-founded policy, passed by earlier American politicians:

- Birthright citizenship via the 14th amendment and the ensuing court rulings
- 1965 Hart-Celler Act ending the country quotas
- 1980 Refugee Act that created the current asylum system often abused
- 1986 Reagan amnesty that gave illegal immigrants a path to citizenship
- 1990 immigration act raising numbers, lottery, and creating the H1B visas

Those laws did it. Don't like the outcome? Don't just post about it online. Use your First Amendment rights to lobby and change the actual laws. That's the only thing that ever works.

I know there was some tongue in cheek responses about quotas when people pointed out the discrepancies between state pop %s and tu enrollment stats.

Do you really not see an issue with a state public university where the international enrollment of degree seekers (9.5-10%), is double that of the number of African American students, which is substantial lower than their representation within the state.

The international student % is only 2.5% less than white males.

International students should be the exception (and exceptional), not the norm. Especially when high achieving state kids are getting "capped"

. Go ask a baby boomer what Texas was like in the 60s and 70s. It's completely changed.


Well, you know, we had racially segregated public housing in Texas when I was in high school in the 1990s. And the KKK was in the streets to protect the segregation.

My Mom, who is a boomer, was astonished to see a black student sharing a dorm room with a white student at A&M in 1995.

Of course, when she married my father, there was a problem. Somebody actually wrote to my dad, telling him that he was not allowed to marry her, because she was "not of the white race."

So, yes, our society has changed. Thank God.

How am I "sacrificing my birthright"? What am I losing?
Zobel

Right, the opposite of the KKK is a minority white state.

Wait, that one might unironically be true.

Because I am the first generation of my mother's (Italian) family to enjoy the privilege to always pass as "white," I am skeptical of the importance of whiteness.
Zobel

Right. You're an Italian citizen after all and that definitely doesn't color your perception of how inherited ethnicities change loyalty to a nation. How could I forget.

Does Bo French want affirmative action for white people?


Merit based is not and never has been merit based when the entire rest of the world scams the system and cheats on the SAT and ACT. They are literally not playing by the same set of rules and you have the absolute gall to call this affirmative action. These nations cheat on a national level on these tests. We should ban most of the world from being able to even apply because of this garbage.


You're right. Indians have what's called jugaad where it's looked upon favorably culturally to cheat the system.


If you've done business with them, you realize how true this is. It's a culture that frankly doesnt blend well with ours.

The democrats here love to throw out the "racist" bit, but the reality is something different. French's post isn't racist. He's pointing out a picture that shows a bigger problem: Texas universities aren't educating the children of Texans who have been here for generations. That's being caused by the top 10% rule, which needs to go.

Yes, I have a big problem with first generation students from a foreign country taking seats away from the children of actual Texans.

Not sure how well they're "assimilating" as a group when they all seem to cluster together.

If you would rather talk about me, that's fine. You say that our country has changed, and I agree. I say that we are better for it.
Zobel

you literally brought your Italian heritage into it.

Anyway not all change is the same. We can improve our society in ways I agree with and also radically change it in ways that I don't, and those are independent of each other.

Segregation bad doesn't make unfettered immigration good.

I am willing to argue that desegregation of public housing and public schools, which was still happening during my lifetime, is a good thing.

Are you prepared to argue that segregation should have been preserved?

This story has gone national. And now we are getting lists of Republicans elected officials in Texas who condemn French in these views and those who support French.

it's hard not to see the recent bo-french-style surge in anti-Indian racism on twitter and elsewhere as being anything more than losers coping about being losers.

it's most pronounced among intelligent, but otherwise low-achieving and unremarkable people who have collectively manufactured a mythology in which their comparative lack of success is due to it being stolen by undeserving foreigners, when in reality they're often just getting outperformed.

Former McKinney mayor George Fuller posted on FB about the criminal records of some of the ringleaders in the anti-mosque movement in McKinney. That set off a firestorm. You reminded me of this when you suggested many of these types are losers. Actually many are worse than that.

One of the guys posted up defending himself. It was interested in read his excuses about the numerous convictions. As you an imagine, none of them were his own fault.
