The portrayal of South Africa as dangerous for white people by President Trump and his supporters contrasts sharply with statistical realities. White South Africans, who constitute only 7% of the population, own at least 50% of the land and face similar risks of violent crime as other groups. Economic indicators show that they generally remain better off than Black South Africans. This misrepresentation serves to amplify fears regarding diversity initiatives in the United States, suggesting that the situation in South Africa can serve as a cautionary tale for America.
"Although white people make up 7 percent of the country's population, they own at least half of South Africa's land. Police statistics… do not show that they are any more vulnerable to violent crime than other people."
"If the United States doesn't clamp down on attempts to promote diversity, America will become a hotbed of dysfunction and anti-white discrimination... We whites are threatened,' Max du Preez... said of Mr. Trump's description of his country."
