Need more of a reason to hate the military officers?
Texas opened doors for my family, but Republicans who hold all statewide offices and both U.S. Senate seats are now trying to slam the door shut, lock it and throw away the key. Through gerrymandering, they reduced the number of majority-Black and Latino congressional districts and split up Asian communities – significantly diluting political power for the Texans of color who have driven population growth.
Those evil racist whites allowed black and brown people to make up the overwhelming majority of population growth but we’re oppressed!
But the Texas I know is Black and brown, with more than 50% of the state’s population being Black, Latino or Asian.
The Texas I know is young, with nearly half of the state being younger than 35.
The Texas I know is worth fighting for.
Ah, Obscene racism is okay as long as it’s anti white. Tell me, what’s the states “brown” population when you take out the millions of Illegal aliens?
That’s amazing math for 50% of the state to be not White. When US Census data says the state is 78.7% white. Are they including illegal immigrants in their calculations?

The US Census counts most Hispanics as white. When he's counting them, he counts them as PoC.
And AFAIK the US Census counts illegal immigrants. Unless he sources his data I can't tell you whether it includes them.
