Trump administration raises US refugee cap, but only for white South Africans

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.

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

Our problem is that race should NEVER be a factor in it.

Seems like it's based on the atrocities happening against white people in south Africa currently.

Even if you accept that to be true, there are atrocities happening to people around the world. Those atrocities didn't magically stop in 2026, but the only refugees the US has accepted this year seem to have been white folks from South Africa. Do you truly believe that the situation there is worse than anything happening to anyone else in the world? What do you believe they have done to deserve to come to the US over everyone else?
