Response to this claim
French’s posts demeaned the pictured people because of their race or ethnicity.
“I spent 25 years as an oil and gas engineer. Bo French spent Sunday morning sorting our student section by skin color. Greg Abbott said Bo French would “wreck” our oil and gas industry. A man who can’t tell a Longhorn from a foreigner has no business regulating anything in TX.”
Bo French used an image of apparent South Asian UT fans to argue that foreigners were displacing Americans. Critics called the posts racist or xenophobic; French and supporters said they raised a legitimate immigration and admissions dispute.
