On Sunday, the Republican nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner Bo French posted an image on social media of a crowd of University of Texas fans, most of them East Asian Indians, saying, “The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined.”
French’s observation was in reference to the rapidly changing demographics in the Lone Star state, which he confessed he had under-appreciated. “I heard UT graduation this year looked like this. I didn’t believe it.”
More and more patriotic Americans of all races have been noticing the same replacement taking place nationwide, but especially in Texas. American political activists Tyler Oliveria and Savannah Hernandez, both of whom are Hispanic, recently catalogued the mass influx of Indian immigration into the state in videos that went viral. Former Florida GOP Gubernatorial candidate James Fishback, a Catholic, likewise spoke on a recent podcast of how “Democrats … and [the] Republican establishment” are “in bed together to want a third world replacement of American citizens to pad their profit margins.”
In recent years, the question of American identity is being discussed at the highest levels of power in the country and among its most prominent influencers. Many have found themselves asking “Is America just an idea?” or is it a country with a distinct religious, cultural and racial identity that is needing to be preserved in the face of those who seek to continue to usher in massive waves of immigrants. A irreversible change that is having the effect of fundamentally changing the composition of the America from just 30 years ago — let alone the 1950s.
For someone like Pooja Sethi, a current Democrat state candidate in Texas, the radical demographic change is something to revel in. “This is what Texas looks like,” she exclaimed in an X post to her online following, warning “And if you don’t like it, you can leave.”
Undeterred by the negative backlash, French doubled-down the same day and noted how social media is “exposing how many Americans have been displaced by foreigners.” He then suggested, not without certain merit, those responsible for the great replacement “hate white Americans.”
The Dispatch
Though he is yet to hold elected office, French has already made a name for himself amongst younger Republicans voters and the growing America First wing of the GOP. One reason this has occurred is because in March of this year he came out in support of mass deportations while stating that he opposes Islam as such, not merely Sharia Law.
The GOP establishment denounces French
Predictably, the Republican establishment was furious with French for having made an observation that, while not politically correct, is increasingly being discussed at American dinner tables around the country. In fact, there was little daylight between the coverage radical left-wing press gave to French’s X post and what conservative media outlets said.
The Daily Beast, for instance, denounced his remarks as a “vile racist post.” GOP U.S. Senator John Cornyn called it “intolerance and racism.” Lacey Hall, a Republican state representative in Texas, pleaded with French, “Please delete this. This post breaks my heart.”

Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott said something similar, responding to French by distancing himself: “That is not my message.” This is the same Abbott who said in 2024 during an annual gubernatorial Diwali celebration: “As long as I am governor of this great state, Texas will be a land for the Indian community and we will continue to celebrate Diwali here in the great state of Texas.” To date, curiously, no similar recognition for the White community in Texas has been made by Abbott, much less has he given it his support.
But Abbot, as well as clergy in the state, are increasingly at odds with the base of the conservative movement. Joel Webbon, a Protestant, noted that “White people in Texas are being replaced at an alarming rate. By 2035, Texas will be gone.”
Catholic commentator Jack Posobiec, in response to Bishop Michael Olson of the Fort Worth Diocese calling the post “racist,” reminded him that nations have a right to regulate their borders. He also said on a podcast, “I’m still trying to figure out what Bo French said wrong. What’s wrong with standing up for native Texans and pointing out that there is an immigration cartel in [Texas]?”
Meanwhile, Daily Wire contributor Isabel Brown published an X post citing St. Thomas Aquinas as having said, “if foreigners were allowed to meddle with the affairs of a nation as soon as they settled down in its midst, many dangers might occur, since the foreigners not yet having the common good firmly at heart might attempt something hurtful to the people.”
