Texas was founded as a white republic in opposition to Mexican Aztec despotism. The deeds of heroes at the Alamo, San Jacinto, and Palo Alto were some of the most glorious on the North American continent. That is why white Texans have a pride in their state so strong that it borders on nationalism. Sadly, their patriotism has been co-opted by a cynical political class into globalism with cowboy hats and pickup trucks. Consider the University of Texas. It only admits 10% of its out of state applicants. That admin rate climbs to 35% for Texans. By state law, 90% of UT's admission spots must go to Texas residents. However, "Texas residents" include the denizens of the growing hindoo colonies of Frisco, Plano, Austin, etc. By this law, Steve from Arkansas has less legitimate connection to Texas than Garglepreet from Gujarat. This is the end result of civic nationalism: rewarding racial strangers over your own white brethren to the point where your institutions become unrecognizable.
