As an emigrant from South African(white, not Afrikaner or a land-owner), I have a lot of ambivalence about the legitimacy of the refugee status here. I think you offer a lot of nuanced points.
What is definitely true is that there are a lot of good reasons to leave, and it’s histrionic to accuse potential emigrants of “avoiding reckoning” or whatever Ramaphosa’s current wording is. SA may not be a failed state, but it is incredibly difficult to live with the current level of violent crime and infrastructure collapse, and emigrants deserve the same level of understanding as people fleeing violence in, say, Central America.
It’s racist to prefer white immigrants. It’s also exhausting and silly to devote the level of coverage that has been devoted to a few dozen immigrants that have actually come
I could say this on almost all of your posts, but welcome to the Right.
Welcome. We enjoy hard work, honesty, and reality here. You will prefer this side.
the left does a lot of zany things - but the "persecuted minorities should stay persecuted and face their reckoning" is pretty wild.

Ironic that you think immigrants from Central America get consideration.
No.
I’m sorry, but this just reaches so far into anti-anti-ism that it loops back around into ignorance. Unsubscribing.
Your call of course but I don’t really know what this means
