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

Several Texas Republicans have condemned Bo French, the Republican nominee for a statewide position regulating the Texas oil and gas industry, over racist social media posts. French shared a photo of South Asian students at the University of Texas cheering after a victory against Ohio State. In the posts, he described the students as a problem and decried foreigners displacing Americans. The backlash follows his public comments targeting Asian students at the UT institution.
