[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like a good plan. Time for the rest of the world needs to step up. 7,500 sounds like a fair share for the US to take on.

[b]And I’m not seeing where the lying news is getting that they will all be white South Africans.[/b] Sure, some will be, but that is simply because white South Africans are facing violence, racism, and discrimination in South Africa.[/quote]

It’s in all the major new sources, including fox. Does fox lie as well? The notice in the federal register “made no mention of any other specific groups to be admitted besides the white South Africans, known also as Afrikaners.”

If you think that white South Africans, who control 70 percent of the land in South Africa, are victims of some kind, then you’re either not very bright or not well educated.

There are two main groups of whites in SA. One is the descendants of the Dutch (and some other) who came centuries ago to farm and supply ships. The other are Brits. Apparently older generations continued to have hostility towards each other (going back to the British-Boer conflicts of the 19th century and I believe the Brits seeing the Boers as ignorant rubes and the Boers seeing the Brits as snobs) but not so much now. One draw is unemployment among whites in SA is about double the US (unemployment among blacks is 4x as high as for whites). On reddit the question was debated whether you have to be a farmer, which would tend to mean Afrikaner as opposed to Brit descent.

Coloured are also a minority, only slightly higher percentage than the whites, do they get consideration? [/quote]
