Several Texas Republicans condemn Bo French’s racist posts calling Asian students at UT a “problem”

Several Texas Republicans have distanced themselves from Bo French, the Republican nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner, after he posted offensive and racist remarks targeting Asian students at the University of Texas. French's comments, which labeled these students as a "problem" and accused them of displacing Americans, have sparked widespread condemnation. This controversy is significant because it threatens to overshadow French's campaign, raising questions about his judgment and the values he represents, especially in a state with a growing Asian-American population. The backlash underscores the importance of political leaders upholding respect and inclusivity.
