    Nope, just products of their environment — it’s very very unlikely that a white person who lived in apartheid South Africa will be a decent person. That + Trump’s endorsement means you can go ahead and assume that these are the wrong South Africans to be bringing into the country.

      I take issue with someone lumping an entire ethnic group together and commenting on “their” tendencies. You should too.

        No, thanks — fuck the people that Trump brought in the country. There is no white genocide in South Africa, you are a moron for thinking their asylum is legitimate.

        Edit: Even South African officials have blasted the ‘Mission South Africa’ for being outrageous and racist. Feel free to die on this hill.

          Thanks, but you can keep those opinions to yourself and stop putting words in my mouth. All I claimed was that lumping an entire ethnic group in order to talk about how they all act is wrong. Sorry for holding that opinion?

            Your opinion is ill informed or shitty, look into South African apartheid and then take a quick examination of the thirty years post apartheid. Spoilers, systemic racism there didn’t end — white South Africans still earn on average three times more than Black South Africans. You might be wondering how much of the South African population white people make up? The answer is 8 percent. Guess who Trump is fast tracking into the country? That’s right, white wealthy South Africans.

            This has nothing to do with bigotry, it has everything to do with evil people extracting wealth from South Africa. If you can’t understand why that’s wrong then there isn’t anything else to discuss.

              So they must all be like that? Keep throwing all the facts at me that you want. Doesn’t keep you from being a shitty person.
