[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people so quick to dismiss this? Africa has a long history of racial tension, and intra-racial ethnic tension. South Africa is perhaps the most famous example, and it's not exactly a secret that the black and white South Africans have beef.  [b]I once worked overseas with white South Africans, and they were all working to get UK citizenship due to government persecution (and many of them were successful).

There's a long history of race-based attacks on African farmers, not just in SA but also in Zimbabwe and other countries. So this all fits the fact pattern.[/b] Add onto it that our own state department acknowledges that reports of government violence are credible. Here's a report from 2023, so it cant be accused of being "manipulated" by the Trump administration: https://www.state.gov/reports/2023-country-reports-on-human-rights-practices/south-africa/

There's only one reason you're fighting this, and that's because the victims are white. Full stop. It's so transparent. [/quote]

I have known a number of South Africans who are white, and most of them told me they are trying to get friends and family out of SA.

I also knew a family who escaped Zimbabwe after their family farm was attacked and confiscated; the government condoned it and the family lost everything.

Things are not OK in South Africa, as much as many in the U.S. and EU want to pretend otherwise.[/quote]

No one is saying that “Things are …OK in South Africa”. People are saying that SA is a country beset with violence — that doesn’t single out the Afrikaners for any special attention.  The violence is hardly condoned by the government.

Why are you talking about people you know who lived in Zimbabwe? Their government is not in charge of South Africa. Are you confused? Do all African governments look alike to you?

What I find interesting is that the Trump Administration has said that they want to attract people who can easily assimilate into American culture. So they picked racist white farmers.  That sounds about whyte. [/quote]
