White Men Can't Jump Theory 

White Men Can't Jump Theory is a tale as old as gravity, due to the evolutionary trait of white people having less joints in their legs, they cannot jump the same height as minorites. Whenever they try and play hoops, it's classified as a hate crime and a medical emergency due to the sure fact their legs will give out after the last slam dunk.
"Hey look, Tyler's gonna dunk that basket!"

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
