But their skin has more coloring than a pasty white kid, therefore, it is bad.
Racists both complain about “affirmative action” for anyone not white, and conversely demand “affirmative action” to promote their underachieving white kids.
That’s the American way.

UT offers guaranteed admission to Texan high school students who graduate in top 5% of their class.
So? Why are non-citizen kids of visa holders given the same treatment as actual Texas citizens? That’s the issue.

They're better candidates. Meritocracy and what not.
And a lot of these kids are citizens. 2 of the kids in the picture have already come out to correct the incorrect "non-citizen" meme.

To play devil’s advocate, do they not pay state sales taxes like anyone else? The majority of funding for UT comes from grants and the PUF, then tuition. The only skin in the game for the average Texas resident is sales tax.

Texans have given up on texas so hard that they’re repeating the Indian propaganda about how white American kids are dumb and lazy
What do you expect from a state populated by people who left Louisiana because they couldn’t find a job

Who would attend LSU, OU, Arkansas, aggy?
I graduated in Chemical Engineering from LSU in 1978. Worked in chemical plants (Chlorine, EDC, VCM and PVC) for 45 years. Had jobs in Engr. Dept., area Engr., superintendent, plant manager prior to going into the licensing field as Sales/Design Team Manager then Director/General Manager. Responsible for licensing/basic engineering design/training and startup assistance to our clients. Plants licensed and built were all over the world. Here's my take on Universities and countries that produce good Chemical Engineers and those that don't.
The Good Ones that I have had experience with:
- University of Alabama
- Auburn University
- Texas A&M
- LSU
- Mississippi State
- Louisiana Tech
What the above had was good critical thinking skills, people skills and common sense.
- MIT extremely smart in theoretical issues. Very valuable to the team in their proper role.
- Japanese ChE's very, very good but extremely tight liped with not so good people skills.
- Korean ChE's same as above but a bit more easy to get full cooperation.
- Italians Smart, creative but lack drive. They have their place.
The throw aways:
- Tulane Never make the mistake of hiring.
- University of Texas They are great, just ask them. Their ego gets in the way of discovering that they don't have the goods to be a good engineer or a leader.
- India Teach them what to do then tell them what to do then finally they will be happy for you to do it for them. Serious lack of common sense and leadership.
- Saudis They pay expats to do everything and then take credit for it. Pay from them is extremely good.
- University of Michigan Not good with people and they want to be the boss without experience and don't like to get their hands dirty.
- Any school in California stay away from.
That's my take from experience, however in the past 10-15 years none of them no matter the school are worth a plugged nickel. They are "entitled" and being taught by too many foreign professors with no industrial knowledge or experience.

I continue to be amazed at the number of people who are just fine with giving non-citizens full in-state consideration and treatment at the flagship state university. Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t wrap my mind around it.

Are the jeets again doing the thing where they say they're smarter than us? Do we have to whip out the IQ map again?

they're not non-citizens. Most of them were born here

i get it but this was about having a meritocracy. stats show that high school kids of asian descent have higher gpas and score higher on standardized tests.
Indians were part of the Harvard anti-DEI lawsuit, and everyone cheered them on. the merit narrative has turned into "our ancestors built these schools, why shouldn't we get preference?" that's DEI in another shell

these kids aren't random indian street vendors. the iq map doesn't mean squat. We're not talking about the whole country. we're talking about a select group of high school kids with immigrant parents.
the iq argument can be disproved anyway since we have standardized test score stats that show asians score higher

True as to some, and those I have no issue with. But some are in fact non-citizens. And they get equal footing with your kids with respect to state universities.

Can’t help but notice that as the USA becomes less white, it becomes less good. Just look at the parts of the USA where whites are either the minority or a relatively small majority. Third world shitholes. Sorry if you find facts racist.

Imagine being a Texan with a highly accomplished kid who couldn’t get into UT. And then you see a bunch of non-citizen kids of foreign visa holders taking in-state spots.
The angle that doesn’t get enough attention are the number of states that offer in-state tuition for non-citizens. T-Baw gets into UT and it’s $40k/yr. Consuela from Guatemala gets in and it’s $11k.

All 3 of my kids attended LSU. I’d bet they are more successful than you and make more money than you do, lol.
