South Africa -- the reality

It is now almost a third of a century since apartheid ended, and as recent events have made painfully obvious, most Americans know essentially nothing about what has been happening in South Africa since then.  They merely believe whichever bits and pieces, out of what they hear from whatever source, best fit their own preferred narrative.

No, there is no "white genocide" happening, but the writing is pretty clearly on the wall for the future.  Murder, torture, and other atrocities against white farmers have been ongoing for years, although South Africa's overall murder rate is so staggeringly high that such killings don't stand out as much as they would in most countries; in any case, the use of torture in many of these attacks belies the claim that robbery and not hatred is the main motive.  People have been tying themselves in knots insisting that the "kill the Boers" chant (Boers is another term for the Afrikaners, the white ethnic group which has lived in South Africa for centuries, descended mostly from early Dutch settlers) is "a figurative expression of resistance" and not a literal call for violence, is associated with a minority party, etc -- but if we had politicians of a minority party in the US leading mobs in chants of "kill the Jews" or something similar, one could hardly expect the targeted group to find such gaslighting very reassuring.  And just taking the South African government's word for what is going on makes about as much sense as taking the Chinese regime's word about its designs upon the Uyghurs.

More to the point, South Africa is a failed state clearly on the road to collapse, where the rich (regardless of their race) have almost totally disconnected from the state and mainstream society in order to have a tolerable existence, and are increasingly fleeing to any civilized country they can buy their way into:

Most white South Africans are not rich, and the Afrikaners (unlike the Anglo part of the white population) have no ancestral or family ties to the UK or its developed ex-colonies to help them gain entry there.

Calling people names for pointing out the facts of the situation does not change those facts.  How deserving the Afrikaners are of refugee status, compared with other threatened populations around the world, could be debated ad nauseam from a number of viewpoints.  It is probably true that they would assimilate within the US more easily than most immigrants from non-Western cultures do.  There is certainly no valid reason to judge them uniquely unworthy of coming here, and those who help other refugees but refuse to help them purely because of their race and national origin are the true bigots of the story.

Update/note:  Forget about Trump and his ridiculous meeting with Ramaphosa.  This is nothing to do with that.  I've been following these developments in South Africa since before Trump's first term.  None of it has anything to do with Americans or the US.
