For some white Afrikaner South Africans, Donald Trump’s offer of refugee status in the US has been seen as a godsend. For others, it has provoked anger and frustration that they are being falsely portrayed as victims of a “white genocide”, 31 years after their community’s own oppressive minority rule ended.
In February, Trump signed an executive order claiming Afrikaners, who make up about 4% of South Africa’s population, or about 2.5 million people, were victims of “unjust racial discrimination”. The order cut aid to the country and established a refugee programme for white South Africans. The first group arrived in May.
The spectacle of white people being flown to the US while Trump blocked refugees from war zones bemused and angered South Africans of all races. For some liberal Afrikaners, it felt personal.
“In terms of being singled out, for progressives it’s extremely painful,” said Lindie Koorts, a history lecturer at the University of Pretoria.
Wait, South Africa has 100 million people, dayumm. Didn’t realize it was that high lol. Anyways, nah, there’s no white genocide. Glad some people are rejectimg that.
There’s no active white genocide, but there have been groups wanting to push for it. Luckily, that’s illegal and they seem to crack down on those people. It’s why this has been messy. It’s not hard to find footage of South Africans promoting white genocide, but rarely includes that fact that those people either get chased away or arrested.
Zimbabwe pushed out their white farmers, but instead of giving the land to capable black farmers, the government gave it to their friends and political allies. It did not end well.

Makes sense for Australia. Most of that is relatively unlivable.
If you see a population map of Aus most of it might as well not exist as far as the people living there are concerned
I thought Trump moved on from that when it didn’t stick
Chump “moves on” from nothing…
Whatever has been launched is still sitting there in the wings being implemented behind our backs while the news cycle and public vision have moved on to the next outrage.
That’s the most subversive aspect of all this Chump “administration” fuckery that folks fail to understand.
🤡 🖕 💩
Also when the afrikanners arrived, charities refused to help them settle, yes charities are largely responsible for refugees from other countries.
