If I understand correctly, MAGA wants to fix elite colleges by deporting kids with brown skin, and the Left wants to admit students who can't do basic math because 'equity'
I take the squishy centrist view that elite schools should just admit the kids with the best test scores
Indian immigrants—by far—pay more taxes and receive less government benefits than any other major national origin group in the United States.
This is because they have the highest median household income.
They also have one of the lowest incarceration rate of any group.
I usually don't comment on politicians' posts. Making an exception for a timeline. Dates and quotes only.
2022:
- @KenPaxtonTX tells the Supreme Court "The University of Texas was wrong" to use race in admissions
- @tedcruz leads a brief signed by @JohnCornyn and 80 other Republicans: race-conscious admissions "inflict a heavy toll on Asian-American students"
2023:
- @GregAbbott_TX signs a ban on DEI offices at state universities
- The Supreme Court rules their way. UT stops considering race
Since then:
- Texas law auto-admits the top of every high school class by rank, as it has since 1997; this year, the cutoff is the top 5%
- 90% of freshmen must be Texans by law
- 4% of undergrads are international per @UTAustin's 2025-26 Common Data Set
9/13/2026:
- @bofrench, Republican nominee for Railroad Commissioner, posts a photo of South Asian students at UT and calls it "the problem"
- As of writing this post, two students in the photo have spoken to reporters. Both are US citizens
9/14/2026:
- Asked about it on the Mark Davis Show, French says letting UT administrators "select their preferred groups of people" is racism
- His fix - "prioritize Americans"
Race-blind admissions were requested and delivered. Changing who is in that photo would require bringing back affirmative action, which the Cruz-Cornyn brief called "unconstitutional on its face" and French even said letting UT administrators "select their preferred groups of people" is racism

Thanks to @vedantnair__ for inspiring me to post
Kangmin Lee is a Korean woke right grifter who should SELF-DEPORT back to Korea if he believes in his own words.
He believes that the children of Indian immigrants (me) are foreigners.
The funniest part is that Kangmin himself is not even a child of immigrants.
He is just a straight-up immigrant.
He was born in Korea.
He even calls himself "Korean-American" on his website, which is completely fine with me! However, I suspect people who agree with his low-IQ takes would not find that okay.
Kangmin should stand by his statements and self-deport if he is intellectually honest!
How are Indians a problem if US law allows them to become American Citizen.
Who is stopping you. Pass another damn amendment & make a law that Brown People aren't allowed in US.
But stop harassing kids and families in name of immigration enforcement, they didn't invaded you.
This image was a wake up call for a lot of delusional "red-pilled" minorities.
You can be born in America, never break a law, work hard, study hard, contribute, assimilate culturally and there's still a big chunk of people who will hate you because you're the wrong skin colour.
If this many Indians on campus upsets you, you’re really going to hate a level playing field!
Indian-Americans generally face discrimination FAR more extensive than whites or East Asians: In Columbia's admissions data, South Asians with SATs over 1550 had 57% lower admission odds than white applicants with the same stats.
Advice to the retard Right: if you wanna turn public opinion against immigration, you should probably show a picture of immigrants throwing poo or something, and not a picture of 4.2-GPA pre-med students wearing cowboy hats and throwing horns at a college football game
Anytime Heritage Americans bitch and whine about immigrants....I always check to see if they've taken care of their parents/grandparents, and it's usually a hard no.
Very telling pattern.
AI is going to wipe out at least 25 million jobs in the next 5 to 10 years. Probably much more. It will destroy every creative field. It will make it impossible to discern reality from fiction. It will absolutely obliterate what’s left of the education system. Kids will go through 12 years of grade school and learn absolutely nothing. AI will do it all for them. We have already seen the last truly literate generation.
All of this is coming, and fast. There is still time to prevent some of the worst outcomes, or at least put them off. But our leaders aren’t doing a single thing about any of this. None of them are taking it seriously. We’re sleepwalking into a dystopia that any rational person can see from miles away. It drives me nuts. Are we really just going to lie down and let AI take everything from us? Is that the plan?
I grew up being told “the older you get, the more conservative you become.”
I’m finding that the older I get, the more I just want our society to be more tolerant, charitable, kind, peaceable, and ensure that everyone has what they need to survive and thrive.
IS HE TONE-DEAF OR IS HE TROLLING
While nearly 50 million Americans are losing SNAP, Trump is:
* Building a 300 million ball room
* Redecorating the Lincoln bathroom
* And last night held a Great Gatsby/Roaring 20s party
Is he tone-deaf or trolling the poor?
Your thoughts?
