^ Are you asking about the Beto debate that has animated the last few pages of this thread? It's about Beto O'Rourke, the rising Democrat star running in the upcoming election in Texas:-

And this, I presume is a photo of the young Beto in question that blows the "deliberately political name change" story out of the water :-

Alternative answer: "beta" could be the phonetic spelling in Britain for a word which I believe is pronounced "bedderr" in the USA.

He ****ed up killing a Latino in October. Hunting season for them ends in mid July. Plus, it’s open season on blacks all year long. That’s a very generous policy. Hopefully this guy gets a fine and a loses his hunting license for the remainder of the year. *******s like him are destroying our cheap labor. Right after a hurricane, too.
