A group of refugees was welcomed to the United States on Monday by the State Department and the media is upset that they are white people from South Africa.
The media’s main beef is that these people were deemed victims of racial discrimination in their home country and the media has a hard time admitting that white people can face discrimination. They refute that their lives are that hard. They claim that they are skipping the line over other groups, even though it was a small group of only 59 people who applied when the President opened up refugee status to farmers so there is no proof that they took anyone else’s spot.
MSNBC put the word “refugees” in quotes, denying that this group ever faced any danger at all. CNN says that South Africa has a good court and justice system that could have protected them. Lol. They also say that they are of German descent and Afrikaners are not. They are of Dutch descent and have had claim to their lands for as long as, if not longer, than many Black tribes which were themselves colonisers.
To be fair, Blacks are also at a high risk of violence in South Africa. The violence and corruption is horrible for everyone. We should open this same program with the burden of proof to all skin color and not be scandalized when they show up.
Also, I’m so confused because this is the same media that celebrated Ukrainian refugees skipping the refugee line because they were white.
