Texas republicans appear to be racist to the extent that they appear to be against LULAC.

Which is what you'd expect since they have a tendency to vote democrat.

But the idea of a democracy is that they move their policies to serve the people rather than shutting down charities that try to get people on the electoral role.

LULAC is a fundamentally racist organization. Being against LULAC is being anti-racist.

You think that people shouldn't stand up to race based voter suppression ... because standing up to it is racist?

That's a difficult position to understand. Can you word a compelling argument?

LULAC is a racist organization. I defend crushing all such. That's the argument.

What makes you think it's a racist organization?

the organization erected to advance the interests of a single race, what makes me think it's racist?

It was erected to combat racism against Latinos: It was established on February 17, 1929, in Corpus Christi, Texas, largely by Hispanics returning from World War I who sought to end ethnic discrimination against Latinos in the United States.

Yes, what makes you think its a racist organization?
