About 60 White South Africans expected to arrive at Dulles next week as refugees under Trump e.o.

I just can't anymore...they don't even try to hide their racism toward anyone of color and embrace of anyone White.


The Afrikaners are expected to arrive on a State Department-chartered plane Monday, with federal and Virginia officials preparing to receive them in a ceremonial news conference, according to documents and emails obtained by The Washington Post, as well as three government officials familiar with the preparations.

Months after the Trump administration ground U.S. refugee admissions to a halt, the program meant for people fleeing war or political persecution has restarted — but only for one group: White South Africans.

The arriving families, who are part of a group that President Donald Trump has said face racial discrimination, will then be resettled outside Virginia in at least seven states, according to those familiar with the plans, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to share details of the preparations.

Last year, no South Africans of any race, ethnicity or linguistic group were vetted by the United Nations as meeting its criteria to be resettled as refugees, according to the organization’s data. State Department officials would not say why the 60 Afrikaners set to arrive Monday were granted refugee status.

All other refugees besides the Afrikaners — the descendants of primarily Dutch settlers in South Africa — have essentially been kept from arriving since Trump’s first week in office. Government funding has been slashed to a network of nonprofit groups that help them acclimate, forcing them to lay off or furlough hundreds of case managers who assist arrivals in finding jobs, housing and other government aid.
