First? So not a single white Afrikaner has been admitted as a refugee in the last.. 10 years? Ever?
> in stark contrast to the virtual shutdown of all other refugee admissions.
It's like being given your portion of a meal, and when your brother, next in line, not having eaten for a week, starts to receive his, you declare "The giving of food to my brother is in stark contrast to the virtual shutdown of food given to myself."
But maybe I'm being too hard on NYT - I'm sure they wrote plenty of "stark contrast" articles back when other refugees were being admitted, and zero Afrikaners were.
Wow, what's going on in South Africa that there are refugees? War, famine, plague, natural disasters?

"White Genocide," [0] a bogus conspiracy theory that this bolsters.
> White genocide is a political myth based on pseudoscience, pseudohistory, and ethnic hatred, and is driven by a psychological panic often termed "white extinction anxiety".
> Objectively, white people are not dying out or facing extermination. The purpose of the conspiracy theory is to justify a commitment to a white nationalist agenda in support of calls to violence.
That's an odd wiki article - it's quite long, but doesn't contain a single chart showing racial demographic change over time. Wouldn't that be the quickest and easiest way to debunk the conspiracy?
