“I heard UT graduation this year looked like this. I didn’t believe it. The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined.”
With those words, Bo French, candidate for Railroad Commissioner sparked a controversy at the University of Texas. He was referring to video he shot of what he said was a heavy congregation of south Asian UT students celebrating the team’s victory over Ohio State.
People from all over the country have criticized French’s comments. In a reaction, French has double downed on his statement.
Who was impacted the most? Likely, it was the students themselves. Context Corner Managing Editor Sam Moore spoke with Nethra Middela, a senior majoring in Computer Science. As she said, the students wondered who this guy was, and why was he saying these things.
