Trump’s Obsession With White South Africans, Explained

Trump’s Obsession With White South Africans, Explained
SHARE

President Donald Trump has made an exception for Afrikaners, allowing 59 refugees from South Africa into the U.S. citing racial persecution in their home country. This is in stark contrast to his suspension of refugee admissions from other parts of the world.

Trump and the incoming Afrikaner refugees claim they have been targeted due to their race and face violence and government land seizures. However, experts and South African officials dispute these allegations, pointing out that Afrikaners are economically privileged in South Africa.

This policy reflects Trump’s broader messaging of stoking white grievances and resentment, positioning himself as a defender of white America. It ties into fears propagated by conservatives about the “Great Replacement Theory.”

Trump’s actions regarding refugees and immigration are viewed as being rooted in white supremacy, according to migration expert Loren Landau.

Who are Afrikaners?

Afrikaners settled in South Africa in the 1600s and came to power with the National Party in 1948, instituting apartheid. After the end of apartheid, Afrikaners have maintained their economic privilege and political influence in South Africa.

Today, Afrikaners make up 5% of South Africa’s population and are one of the wealthiest groups in the country. They own a significant portion of the country’s farmland and hold prominent positions in government.

Recent Afrikaner refugees to the U.S. have raised concerns about crime and discrimination in South Africa, particularly targeting white farmers. However, many Afrikaners prefer to stay and work towards improving conditions in their home country.

Piet Croucamp, an Afrikaner and political studies professor, noted that the majority of Afrikaners have no intention of leaving South Africa and are focused on making positive changes within the country.

Trump believes that Afrikaners have been persecuted since apartheid ended in 1994 and they lost their control over the country’s government. Conspiracy theories, promoted by groups like AfriForum, exploit the fears of some white South Africans about being marginalized by the Black majority. These claims of persecution, endorsed by figures like Steve Hofmeyr, have led to lobbying efforts with the Trump administration. However, experts emphasize that high-profile cases of violence against white farmers do not reflect disproportionate violence against white South Africans as a whole. Claims of genocide have been debunked by officials and courts in South Africa. Trump and his allies also point to anti-apartheid chants and a land expropriation law as evidence of persecution, but experts argue that these claims are exaggerated and misrepresent the situation in South Africa.

There is no provision in the law that allows for the taking of land that is actively being farmed by anyone.
