A new U.S. refugee policy is prioritizing white South Africans, raising questions about how race has shaped who gets refuge today and throughout #history.

US refugee policy for white South Africans is part of a century-long effort to keep some English-speaking nations white

Australia, Canada and the US identified themselves as ‘white men’s countries’ in the early 20th century and coordinated immigration restrictions to keep them that way.

I mean, it's not really a question, is it? The first immigration laws were put into place to limit non-WASP immigrants (apart from enslaved people), and it's been like that most of the time. The real question is why us white people can just get over ourselves already.

Didn't I see something in the news a couple weeks ago about some of these South African refugees going back to S.A. because life in the US sucks more than what they 'suffered'?
