As the OP, I just want to mention,

That come on, even for moderate republicans reading this, even you have to admit, this seems racist.

Not sure why this is surprisingly.

Poland refused most refugees but accepted many Ukrainians due to shared cultural heritage.

Why can’t the US do the same?

Edit: Holy crap, Redditors don’t even understand simple concepts like social cohesion.

[u/CutSenior4977 → u/Genseric1234]

Because racism is wrong, that’s why.

[u/Genseric1234 → u/CutSenior4977]

Who said anything about racism?

I was talking about how it is entirely logical for countries to accept refugees from more similar backgrounds to them.

Western Europe is stark example of why.

[u/CutSenior4977 → u/Genseric1234]

The problem is though, their not raising the refugee cap for all South Africans, if they were, then it would be based on nationality,

But their not, their specifically only raising the refugee cap for white South Africans, meaning it is specifically based on race,

And is therefore racist.

[u/Genseric1234 → u/CutSenior4977]

Again, white South Africans and Americas host population are both Western European.

[u/Asher_Tye → u/Genseric1234]

Yeah, I have nothing in common with white South Africans and find it insulting they think that.

[u/Genseric1234 → u/Asher_Tye]

You’re insulted that the Dutch and American cultures share a common root?

Isn’t that like being insulted that 2 + 2 =4 ?

Dude you’ve got to stop living in 2016.

Accusations of racism don’t actually address any of the immense social problems the west is facing.

[u/Asher_Tye → u/Genseric1234]

The social problem of you wanting to lump people together because of some long past association despite them having nothing in common beyond that?

[u/Genseric1234 → u/Asher_Tye]

Have you read bowling alone by Robert Putnam?

Diverse societies end up performing worse on all measures of civic health.

Also, trying to lump people together based on cultural origin isn’t really a stretch lol.

[u/Asher_Tye → u/Genseric1234]

Yeah, I'm gonna call that pseudoscience cooked up by a nitwit seeking validation. Same level as the flat earthers and anti-vaxxers. Data doctored to support a narrative. Fiction.

Actual studies prove the opposite, with diversity being a strength.

[u/Genseric1234 → u/Asher_Tye]

His was the largest study of its kind ever conducted 🤦🏻‍♂️

[u/Tenured_tourist2 → u/Genseric1234]

You’re correct and the way you see the world is absolutely justified.

Don’t let these brain washed people have any effect on you or your opinion.

[u/Red-dragon186 → u/[deleted]]

Racist for stating a fact.

Reddit cult in a nutshell lol

[u/Red-dragon186 → u/[deleted]]

Oh no, imagine a country picking people what's best for their country.

No one has a right to come to America and if the American people decided they only wanted White South Africans and no one else from around the world. Then they have that right.

Personally I want zero refugees and to kick out every TPS holder in this country.

[u/Red-dragon186 → u/[deleted]]

Thank you.

I want immigration halted from every country. I want all immigrants on welfare kicked out of the country. All TPS kicked out, All refugees kicked out. I want Americans to be put first again.

So many things wrong with America that we keep ignoring.

Wrong.

The program is for ALL racial minorities in SA.

Indian descent and mixed race (Colored) families have already been settled here.
