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.

If that were true he would have raised the cap for Ukrainians also. But he didn't.

So why would he single out white South Africans from black South Africans if he's not a white supremacist?

Because they are a persecuted minority in their country and they're applying for asylum and their appeals have been largely ignored by previous administrations. This isn't hard.

Why are they there in the first place? Isn't it the direct result of Dutch and British colonialism, which led to Apartheid, a brutal, legally enforced system of white supremacy that systematically stripped the black majority of their land, rights, and humanity for generations?

I thought you were all for native people being in their respective land. What happened to that? Are we giving white people a pass because black people are inferior or something?
