Texas Dem Gene Wu says minorities can ‘take over’ the US to ‘make things fairer’
“The day the Latino, African American, Asian and other communities realize that they share the same oppressor is the day we start winning.”
“The day the Latino, African American, Asian and other communities realize that they share the same oppressor is the day we start winning.”

Texas House Democrat Gene Wu told a podcast audience in December 2024 that minority communities could “take over this country” and “make things fairer.” Wu, the minority leader of the Texas House, made the remarks during an interview with journalist Jose Antonio Vargas on the Define American podcast.
“The day the Latino, African American, Asian and other communities realize that they share the same oppressor is the day we start winning, because we are the majority in this country now, we have the ability to take over this country and to do what is needed for everyone and to make things fairer,” Wu said, when asked about tensions between Latino and Asian communities in Texas.
A clip of the interview resurfaced on X this weekend reigniting criticism from Republican officials. Texas Senator Ted Cruz wrote: “The Democrat party is built on bigotry.” Attorney General Ken Paxton called Wu “a radical racist who hates millions of Texans just because they’re white.” Utah Senator Mike Lee described the comments as “just racism. Americans reject it.”

It comes as for the first time in US history, white women no longer account for the majority of births, according to a new study released Friday by researchers at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell.
The analysis, based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data covering 33 million births, found white births at 49.6 percent, with all other racial and ethnic groups combined—including Hispanic, Black, and Asian mothers—making up 50.4 percent.
“Minority women were now the majority... the majority of births in the United States for the first time,” said Dr. Amos Grunebaum, one of the study’s authors, calling the milestone historic.
The researchers said demographic patterns help explain the shift. “Among Hispanic women, they have children usually at an earlier age and they have more children than white women,” Grunebaum said. “White women usually delay childbirth. It is a known fact and they have less children.”
