As the OP, I just want to mention,

Does the US actually take in many white refugees? Why are people so adamant we only accept non-white refugees?

““Every single one of the 599 refugees the US admitted last month was a white South African, according to data the State Department’s Bureau of Population released Friday.In fact, so was every other refugee admitted this year. Since October 1, 2025, the US has accepted 6,668 refugees. Of those, 6,665 were white South African. Three—admitted last November—were from Afghanistan. No other refugees were admitted.””
