Summary
Donald Trump signed an executive order prioritizing U.S. resettlement of white South African Afrikaners, claiming they face “government-sponsored race-based discrimination.”
The order also halts U.S. aid to South Africa, much of which supports AIDS programs.
Trump accused the South African government of land seizures and discriminatory policies, though officials deny these claims.
The move marks a reversal of Trump’s prior refugee restrictions and is seen as aligning with right-wing narratives on South Africa.
Hmmm… This sounds like DEI?
No, see, when white people oppress black people, that’s fine. When black people want to recoup some of what was taken, that’s DEI. Gotta stamp that shit out.
I get that your comment is tongue in cheek, but there is nothing Diverse, Equal or Inclusive about this policy.
They believe (or at least spout it) that DEI is discriminatory.
Not hiring white men = racist.
Doesn’t matter that the demographics of an office should, all else being equal, be roughly equal to the demographics of the community around it. If white men aren’t getting hired, there’s a racial bias at play.
Now…we know all things aren’t being equal, because of generations of oppression. But that’s besides the point. To them, if other people aren’t being oppressed, then they are being oppressed.
To the privileged, equality feels like oppression. Because white privilege is eroding. As it should.
