The Trump administration welcomed 59 white South African refugees to the U.S., saying they were fleeing racial discrimination and land appropriation.

Summary

South African officials and agricultural leaders reject U.S. claims of genocide against white farmers, calling them unfounded and politically motivated.

Trump granted refugee status to 59 white South Africans, citing “brutal killings” and land seizures under South Africa’s 2023 Expropriation Act.

However, experts argue rural crime affects all races equally and lacks racial motivation. Data shows farm deaths impact both white and Black individuals.

Critics view Trump’s claims and Elon Musk’s support as misinformed.

    I mean, every country has some sort of racially/ethnically motived violence. Humans in general are stupid.
