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.

cross-posted from: https://infosec.pub/post/47630834

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.

    It does actually, but you don’t seem to acknowledge the uniparty, their homogenous class interests in the Epstein class (not the citizens in either case), and their violence towards both marginalized demographics and war/genocide.

    Obama bombed so many countries in his time, and most of the Dems in power did the same thing. There’s more than enough shade out there on all of them. Kamala was islamophobic herself.

    Additionally, the political system in America has allowed for someone as terrible as Trump to come into power.

    While I agree the system is broken and that Dems/reps are not the answer, I disagree that reformism within the system will yield anything. Reformism doesn’t work, a radical revolution is needed.

      I’ve said multiple times that both parties suck. That is acknowledgement that both parties have crossover that’s bad. Only the majority of one party is fighting to release the Epstein files. I’m not saying Harris would have made a blanket release, but I don’t believe for a second that she would have fought to keep them secret the same way Trump has. I’m not going to defend her on what may have happened in the war. Her silence on Israel was not good. However, harris doesn’t have a strong history of islamaphobia. I tried to find damning instances from her, but the current Israel/Gaza situation is about the only thing surfacing, and it’s not a good look. But she doesn’t have a stories history that I can find suggesting this is chronic. Again, not saying she’s a saint.

      As far as Obama, I mentioned the bombings were bad. Not defending them. I’m just saying that he also successfully passed domestic policies that were good. That’s different from any Republican president that has done all of the bombing with none of the positive extra stuff.

      I don’t think reformism is the answer. I’m just saying that since change takes time, the best option we have is Dems, because they aren’t as bad as Reps. I’d take 4 years of almost anything else than the current admin, which is a testament to just how bad it is now and the parity between the alternative. No change is better than worse change, but it does move the Overton window. So yes, we agree the system is fucked. I just believe that the biggest factor is Republicans because Dems do the smallest of good sometimes.
