I think that was just hyperbole. I think most people realize that these are the children of H1B scammer non-citizens.

Seems like a distinction without a difference, but congrats I guess.

Complaining about the top students being too brown and thinking there needs to be more diversity (white people) via equity (admitting white kids with lower scores) and inclusion (forcing superior students to be around lesser white students) is literally DEI


Yes.

Yes it is.

But you understand populism. Definitions, principles, facts...none of that matters.

Us vs Them.

"Them" in this case is brown people.

that's a modern narrative. irish, italian, and german immigrants weren't considered white americans back then, and they weren't around when the nation was founded. HP Lovecraft and many others said nasty things about them.

those groups are considered white today because they assimilated and were accepted. the students at UT are working hard, studying, doing well in school, and enjoying an american past time. they're trying to assimilate, and you wouldn't be this angry if they were white european kids enjoying a football game, despite their ancestors not building the nation

So you’re saying he just made stats up?


No. I quoted exactly what he said.

The number of grads that are international students jumped at least 24% in 20 years.

Yes. This is the consequence of actual meritocracy.


I'm from Texas, so I know all about the Texas and Texas A&M auto acceptance system. But outside of that, let's not pretend that college acceptance is some pure mathematical formula with no subjective bias thumbing the scales.

It can benefit different people, but to call getting accepted into a college an "actual meritocracy" is naive, in most cases.

With how ingrained the NPC talking points are, I don't think it's easy to make that claim right now.

They see South Asian and see the enemy.

Asians are the population most discriminated against in college acceptance, especially at elite schools.

They dominate and get over-represented and you see the reacts that we have the past few days.

That's why Harvard and other institutions were sued over their racist policies.

Only white men? Really?

If you men that white men conquered the red men who were already living here, o.k., but that's different than conquering the land.

Who did the labor of clearing it and farming it? History says that was mostly black men. Which men did the building of the railroads and running of the telegraph lines and building the roads and ports that connected it? History says that was men of all colors. Black men, Irish immigrants, Native Americans, Chinese immigrants, etc.

They may reside in the US, but their blood did not build this nation.


Now you're making the same argument that black people make when seeking reparations, and the same argument that idiots make when they virtue signal "stolen land" announcements.

quote:

White men conquered this land.


Nah. Native Americans conquered this land. White men conquered the Native Americans. It's up to white men to keep it just like it was up to the Native Americans to keep it. No fair crying about it if you don't. You're not entitled to it any more than they were.

Texas does have up to 10 percent international students, so that's still a lot of people. There is no way to actually know if the students in the photo are international of not. I'm sure it's a mixture.

Either way, I think that it was magnified because they probably all sit in a section together, as many groups do. So, there are lot of them there, but not as many as the photo makes it seem like.

If you look at the whole picture, this is clearly true.

Plenty of white people in the whole picture

Veteran Republican operative Karl Rove was so disgusted by French’s tweet he denounced the candidate as a “bigot” and said he would be voting for a Democrat for the first time in 30 years, according to a report by The Texas Tribune.
Seriously? You would vote for a Democrat because a Republican said something offensive?

I may be picky about who I vote for, but I wouldn't be able to vote in good conscience for a Democrat, no matter how bad the Republican candidate it.

Ok. Well he may have said it, but that doesn’t make those statements true.

The frustration (at least to me) isn’t this particular picture or scenario on its own but an accumulation of this plus Muslims and illegals taking over cities. It doesn’t help that it’s also just a few days after the 25th anniversary of 9/11.

The white people are always the ones getting called racist, but that’s largely because there aren’t a hell of a lot of white people moving to places like India and Somalia to give the local population opportunities to be racist or discriminatory. If Mumbai and Mogadishu had white Christian mayors (like NYC and London have Muslim mayors) due to mass immigration, there are a lot of natives who wouldn’t like it either - and I wouldn’t blame them.

I have no interest in diversity for the sake of diversity. There wasn’t a hell of a lot of diversity that died on Apollo 1 or running up Omaha Beach in the effort to make this country the envy of the world.

the majority of people in that picture are US Citizens
now their parents on the other hand, way different story

what I find kind of ironic about this picture, is that is probably the Indian student section.

The student sections in DKR are first come first serve and students tend to sit together in their friend groups.

If you go over one section, it is probably 99% white lol.

If you go over another section. It is probably 75% Hispanic

most of the black UT students sit together too but a viral photo of the “black student section” in DKR could easily be portrayed as segregated seating.

birds of a feather flock together.

Clearly. You're mixing up your NPC talking points. You see brown people doing well and assimilating into American culture, and just malfunction.
