University of Texas Rebukes GOP Nominee Bo French Over Racist Posts About Football Crowd of 1

Summary
The University of Texas said it is “proud to celebrate” all its students after Bo French, the Republican nominee for Texas railroad commissioner, posted racist comments about students at a Longhorns football game.
On Sunday, French shared a photo of celebrating UT students—most appearing non-White—and wrote on X that the situation was “far worse than anyone imagined” and that “Americans have been displaced by foreigners.”
Members of both parties condemned the posts, widening the backlash beyond the university and turning the episode into a political problem for a statewide GOP nominee.
