The Central Texas resident who shared a viral social media post alleging a man publicly defecated near the entrance of a Cedar Park neighborhood told The Dallas Express that he believes the controversy reflects broader concerns about immigration and assimilation.
As previously reported by The Dallas Express, Duke Denman shared a post on X claiming an “Indian man” publicly defecated near a Cedar Park neighborhood hours before an Independence Day parade.
The Dallas Express has not independently verified the alleged incident, the man’s identity, nationality, immigration status, motive, or whether Cedar Park police opened an investigation.
Denman told The Dallas Express that the photographs were first posted anonymously in a neighborhood Facebook group.
“The pictures were captured and posted to our neighborhood Facebook page by an anonymous resident of the neighborhood who created a separate Facebook account just to post this in order to protect his identity,” Denman said.
“The post has since been removed by the admin of the Facebook group,” he added.
Denman said he had never personally seen an alleged incident like this before, but he claimed other residents had reported similar behavior.
“This is the first time I have seen this occur, but I am aware that others have seen it in my community,” Denman said.
Denman also raised concerns about demographic changes in the area, which he tied to foreign workers employed by technology companies in the Austin area.
“Our community has become full of foreigners, primarily Indians, over the past few years as they come on H-1B visas to work for large technology companies based in Austin,” Denman told The Dallas Express.
“We are losing our culture, and our politicians don’t seem to care, whether that be at the local, state, or federal level. Those who come to America need to assimilate!” he added.
Denman’s comments follow an earlier wave of online reaction after he and other accounts shared the allegations on X.
As previously reported by The Dallas Express, immigration, H-1B visas, and demographic changes have become topics of public debate in North Texas. In April, residents in Argyle and Northlake raised questions about rapid demographic change, H-1B visa use, and integration as both communities continued to grow.
