US to welcome White South Africans as ‘refugees’ while rejecting other asylum-seekers
International news from the Americas - France 24Saturday, May 10, 2025 at 8:20:51 AM
The US will grant refugee status to a group of White South Africans, citing "race-based persecution," while rejecting other asylum-seekers. South Africa's president criticized the decision, stating no South Africans should be classified as refugees.
What This Means: This move highlights selective asylum policies and raises concerns about racial bias in refugee admissions, potentially straining US-South Africa relations and fueling debates on global migration fairness.
