The takeaway from Bo French suggesting Asian students are “foreigners” and the tepid GOP response is that the Trump-era Republican Party is increasingly explicit about its belief that the only good immigrants, and the only real Americans, are white. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

The Afrikaner policy is illuminating, because it proves the catch-22 facing nonwhite immigrants: If you are poor, you are a moocher, and if you are gainfully employed, you are taking a job from a hardworking American. The only way to be a good immigrant is to be white and Christian.

Bo French, who is running for a seat on the Texas Railroad Commission, has taken this idea a step further, suggesting that the only way to be an American is to be white and Christian.

this is a great analysis, screencapped cos the quote is too long to fit into bluesky:

YouTuber OzymandiasV2 argues that, seen through this lens, Clark’s ultimate decision to remain in the backrooms at the end of the movie is a great metaphor for generative AI users, saying that there are now no demands for Clark to “change, grow, or express anything resembling an original thought… He can exist without the exhausting labor of producing meaning. This is a similar promise that many find in generative AI.”
