Because if there's one thing we've learned in the last few years, it's that white South Africans who miss Apartheid are experts at just pleasantly slipping right into a multiracial society.
“In a notice to Congress obtained by The Associated Press, the administration said the white South Africans faced seizures of their land and other forms of persecution and would be likely to assimilate when they come to America.”
They’re using race science in their explanation to Congress here.

The Trump administration plans to limit refugee admissions in 2027 to 17,500 mostly white South Africans.

i think you can fairly say that the second trump administration is the most racist federal administration since woodrow wilson and honestly i'm not sure that it isn't more racist than wilson's
Tough competition of course, but the Trump admin deciding that white South Africans are the only group of people on earth currently worthy of refugee status has to be the most overtly racist thing any administration has done in decades
Hi folks. If you saw this, you know the administration plans to only accept white South Africans next year. Tomorrow is Congress's formal say before the determination is signed. Please check this brief thread on why I'd like you to speak out for the Afghan people still in limbo...

If someone posted this about a Jewish Senator, it would be rightly condemned as anti-semitism. El-Sayed was born and raised in Michigan, but because he is Muslim he is perpetually foreign and under suspicion.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him.
His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time. 
I sued them for wrongful termination and won.
So yes, I know that motherfucker.

These companies shutting down these websites for no reason are evil. So many stories and history lost for no good reason.
BET Digital has permanently removed all its digital news articles from its website to 'prioritize video content,' I'm told. Years of news articles are now gone forever.
Some writers were able to save their stories; some weren't

As a former professional football player, I can confidently say that this essay is incorrect from every conceivable angle, and contributes heavily to the culture of toxic masculinity that still infests high schools and colleges across the country.
I think it’s safe to say that some version of this essay by Ben Sasse on youth football has been written for over 100 years.
“Football is a character-forming institution that channels strength… In a culture of passivity, football privileges action. In times of peace, football prepares us for war.”
