US accepts only white refugees for sixth consecutive month

The Trump administration is spending more than $100 million to fight the "emergency" of "white genocide" in South Africa.

Since October 1, 2025, the US has accepted 6,668 refugees. Of those, 6,665 were white South Africans. Three—admitted last November—were from Afghanistan. No other refugees were admitted.

That data is backed up by the US Refugee Admissions Program, a federal public-private interagency collaboration program that works on refugee resettlement.> …

A presidential memo from September announced Trump’s intentions: that the refugees accepted “shall primarily be among Afrikaners from South Africa” and “other victims of illegal or unjust discrimination in their respective homelands.”

The Trump administration sees Afrikaners, an South African ethnic group descended primarily from European settlers, as victims of white “genocide”—a racist conspiracy theory promoted by many on the far right, notably Elon Musk.

      Yeah, that’s fine. It still stimulated discourse. And the people who believe it to be true inevitably surface and reveal themselves.

      Actually, what I wrote was not correct. I wasn’t thinking carefully about what the comment was.

      Almost no one thinks Harris would have limited refugees to white South Africans. But a lot of people think there is just one party and they are just pretending to be different. And my comment was meant to mock them.

      It’s really sad that the state of discourse in our society has reached the level where this is valid point.

        The original comment was not a believable or valid point.
        Satire is more than just writing something that’s obviously false.
        Their comment lacked any satirical point, so it just reads as low effort rage-bait.

          The satirical point was that people who think “they’re all the same” are obviously wrong. There is a difference when it comes to shit like this.

          That’s a little harsh. Given the audience of the post, a politics board on lemmy, it’s rather obvious what their point is.

          Namely: they’re criticizing voters who refused to vote for Kamala (and by extension the Democratic Party) because the oft repeated “both sides are the same” complaint.

          I sincerely doubt that OP’s intent was to bait lemmy leftists into a frenzied rage to defend Kamala against this obvious slander. :/
