How the chartered flight for Afrikaner refugees to the United States was approved

To be fair to them it was Trump and the lobbyists who got them in. I think it's progress that the defenders are now admitting that they're not actual refugees but just people who "happen to be white" Trump finds acceptable to let in even while he closes borders for everyone else.

Ah yes, the lobbyists.

Nothing wrong. It's the lying about the reasons that is the issue. Trump said white but his staff and department have been careful to word the official info that it looks like they'll take any minority. I can apply as a minority but they won't approve me.

Actually if you look at the wording, it says Afrikaners (not whites) and other disfavoured minorities.

By this definition, the other minorities could be English, Portuguese, Greek, French or German. They just happen to be white...

If you are qualified CA. Engineer, Doctor etc you can pick almost any country, you will definately earn more but you won't have the same lfestyle as here. If things got really bad over the next decade I think US (depending on the state) is probably the best bet for the average South African.

Well I guess it depends what you mean by lifestyle. I for one really value being able to walk in the streets at 2am with my phone out, having safe, reliable, affordable public transport, not having to effectively live in a max sec prison, a growing economy that has a numerous job opportunities, etc.

Also @cguy has spoken about this a lot previously, if you're highly skilled (in the right industry) and work hard, the lifestyle you can achieve in the US would be unimaginable in SA.

From my experience, a lot of people that speak about the unbeatable lifestyle in SA haven't actually lived/worked in other countries.

Nope. I know some people plan to apply as a joke or to “see what happens” but all that will do is create a perception that there’s demand for this and legitimize it.

But also, why?

White South Africans arrive in US under Trump refugee plan

Donald Trump says they are victims of "racial discrimination", which is strongly denied by South Africa.

I think its quite interesting to see that not all whites think there is a genocide and a need to escape as a refugee and to also see that not all blacks think these guys are cowards and shouldn't have been extended this opportunity.

Now I see why Cyril is mixing with the white devils. He has to get those pics out so ANC doesn't look racist/bad image for SA.

Instead of removing race laws like a normal person... he takes stupid road. Typical ANC move
