Indian American Advocacy Council Condemns Bo French's 'Racist' Post On Brown Students From University Of Texas

The Indian American Advocacy Council has vehemently denounced Republican Texas Railroad Commissioner candidate Bo French following a social media post criticizing a group of brown students at the University of Texas. The organization's statement unequivocally condemned French's alleged racist assumption about the students' identity based on their appearance.

French allegedly viewed a photograph of brown students celebrating their university and immediately labeled them as "foreigners," which the advocacy council deemed a clear act of racism. The controversy originated when French shared a photo of University of Texas fans during their Saturday night game against Ohio State, igniting widespread criticism, including from members of his own political party.

The backlash has also strained relationships within the Texas Republican Party heading into the upcoming midterm elections, with U.S. Senator John Cornyn labeling the post as both intolerant and racist.
