     How did white South Africans become the face of Trump’s refugee policy? | The Global Story

     In the last year, the US has admitted just 13,000 refugees — a fraction of the number it has accepted in previous years. And almost all of those new arrivals have been white South Africans. The Trump administration says Afrikaners are fleeing persecution in South Africa. But there is little evidence of attacks specifically targeting the country’s white Afrikaner minority. South Africa’s new ambassador to the US has told the BBC that the idea of a mass attack against white Afrikaners simply does not exist. So why have Afrikaners been given preferential access to the US refugee programme? And what has life in America been like for those who have made the journey? Today on The Global Story, the BBC’s North America correspondent Ione Wells and Africa producer Ed Habershon share their conversations with the Afrikaners who are using new refugee policies to immigrate to the US — and the South African officials who say the Trump administration is overlooking the full picture.

     The Most Sickening Story the Media Says Doesn’t Exist: First-Hand Account of the White Genocide

     “crime in South Africa, which has hate crimes laws, but he has never been punished for that and and continues to do it even until this day, again, acting on behalf of the government run by the man you just saw sitting next to Donald Trump. And so Donald Trump in his inarticulate…”
