The article critiques President Trump for allowing white South African refugees to enter the U.S., highlighting the historical injustices related to Afrikaners' role in apartheid. This move is viewed as hypocritical given his administration's hardline stance on immigration, particularly towards non-white populations. Many Black individuals and activists have expressed their outrage, stating that this double standard signifies Trump's ongoing racial bias and the broader implications for immigrant policies. Critics argue that it reflects a troubling selective empathy that disregards the marginalized experiences of Black and brown migrants.
Many see the move as a slap in the face to Black and brown migrants who Trump has demonized over the past decade.
Afrikaners violently ruled over South Africa for decades, and it wasn't until 1994 that apartheid- or racial segregation- ended in the country.
