All Hail the Fourth Reich! Hail our Dear Leader, Baron von Shitzenpantz!
The Turd Reich led by Pedolf Shitler
Where they'll struggle to find work to live a comfortable life
We don’t need anymore Nazi scum
We don't want those assholes here. BOERS WILL NOT REPLACE US!
This picture needs to be updated, nowadays the line would be between the 2nd and 3rd options
The position of the line is entirely dependent on your net worth.
As a note: many of these ‘refugees’ are fleeing the crumbling apartheid structure they and their forefathers created in a country that was never theirs. These folks have very right-wing ideals, have a lot of money, and will be reliable Republican voters.
Still wonder why this isn’t surprising, or random?
I‘d love to live in a DEI regime par excellence
Keep in mind, this is after a bunch of the first wave of white South African immigrants moved back because the US is a shithole.
Ya I was wondering why they are coming here in the first place. Maybe a little improvement in some areas. But really that much to be a refugee? Or even uproot and leave your home?
Grass is always greener. They expected their hate and bigotry to be validated by MAGAts only to find out MAGAts hate immigrants regardless of whether or not the migrant looks like them and shares their values. The conservative idea that refugees get a “free ride” on their tax dollar and are “stealing jobs from real Americans” has been so ingrained by decades of those narratives to vilify legitimate refugees that xenophobes aren’t going to flip overnight. Bigots are gonna bigot, plus the South Africans aren’t getting any love from the section of society that would normally welcome refugees because we know it’s bullshit.
wait, i thought refugees were bad?
Nah, mostly just dark skin.
It’s like the 14 words say: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children,” so we’ll do anything to replenish the whiteys!
/s
/disgust
*vomit*
Not ones with pale skin, apparently.
Mediocre White Power!!!
They're expats if they're white
They already are leaving.
Imagine still not grasping that Donald Trump is a racist.
I mean most conservatives know it and that's why they voted for him. But there's some that honestly don't think he is and have other equally stupid reasons they voted for him.
What is the context for this? Why does he keep making exceptions for South Africans specifically? Is this some kind of favor to shitheads like Musk and Thiel? Or is there some other factor I'm not aware of?
I think this is the work of Stephen Miller and Elon Musk - the two white nationalists close to Trump - moreso than anything Trump is initiating or even really cares about.
In the white nationalist world, the “white genocide” narrative is their lodestar.
Just plain ol' racism
I believe it's because most South Africans are white
Whites make up less than 10% of SA's population. They are specifically letting in whites do to the "white genocide" narrative the right has been pushing
That's right, I forgot about the white genocide story. Thank you for mentioning
They're no longer legally allowed to discriminate in South Africa, therefore white South Africans are victims. Religion played a dual role in SA, on the one hand, to rationalize apartheid, on the other, for liberation and reconciliation. The US seems to have a similar religious division between liberal and conservative sects.
Gotta stuff the racists in here. Its a play to get more power.
@notwhoyouthink@lemmy.zip gave a pretty good answer in a comment above https://piefed.social/comment/11085277
Throwing a bone to a minority within his base, and even then some South African refugees have actually left the US recently.
This reads like a @notheonion post.
WHITE south africans... for real? gonna hoard apartheid descendants?
America first
Lets just skip to how this profits Trump because thats all he cares about.
If they say South Africa discriminates against whiny white colonial descendants, isn't that the opposite of DEI? Wouldn't their fantasy version of DEI force the government to include the whites in more places simply because they are minorities?
So, birthrate drops, just funnel in more people who don't know America's corruption, and now jobs markets are fucked with over-crowding while the billionaire class gets more bodies to leech off of. Great plan.
