Ironic that "Afrikaner" is also a racial category (or at the very least a racialised cultural identity) as it is almost exclusively used and understood (also by Afriforum) to refer to selected WHITE people who speak Afrikaans. Does this make the executive order a "race law"?
The United States is offering to help Afrikaaner families resettle as refugees in America. Truthfully politics this year has made my head spin.

Even New York Times knows: "Still, those facts have done little to stop some on the far-right in South Africa from promoting the false narrative that white South Africans have been widely dispossessed of their land and have even been victims of genocide."
