      random South Africans that are suddenly wanting to go to USA, AND is being promoted by donald when he’s currently attacking and deporting minorities without due process?

      Yeh, but it’s not an issue with South Africans… it’s an issue with donald supporting it… if he supports it, chances are it’s bad

      don’t misunderstand me here… I have zero issues with immigration or people from vArious cultures. it’s literally the best way hands down, to process the human race to be better globally… but when a tyrannical president, who is known for nonstop corruption, and waging war against citizens promotes the very thing he is actively fighting… then why would I not give it a blanket bad?

      if donald was not involved, I’d have no issue with it.

      My guy, two of the literal evilest people on the planet are South African (Elon Musk and Peter Thiel).

      Edit: sorry, I guess Thiel only briefly lived there as a child. He describes it as formative experience.

        And it’s because they’re South African? Is it like in their DNA or something? I don’t understand.

          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.
