you are not an "exile" because windows 10 is ending support. you are not a "refugee" for installing linux either. you are not a "survivor". there are actual people who meet the literal criteria for being a survivor, exile, refugee, etc who don't get to use these words for themselves and instead have the phrases co-opted for some technological moment where someone installs a different operating system on their computer. very frustrating. we can do better.

…Despite his conciliatory nature, however, even #Ramaphosa wasn't able to hide his
frustration after 59 #white #Afrikaans South Africans who were granted *#refugee* status by the #Trump admin arrived in the #US last week.

Ramaphosa said given that there is no persecution of the minority group, the #Afrikaners who left for the US were simply white people who didn't want to live under #Black majority rule.

#Trump alleges 'genocide' in #SouthAfrica. #White Afrikaner farmers reject that

Days before South Africa’s president meets w/ Trump at the White House, #Afrikaner #farmers at the center of an extraordinary new #US #refugee policy roamed a memorial to farm attacks in their country’s agricultural heartland, some touching the names of the dead — both #Black & white.

AP News · Trump alleges 'genocide' in South Africa. Afrikaner farmers reject thatBy Mogomotsi Magome

Reporter: There are many people who fit the criteria of fleeing persecution. Afghans for example. But they're being denied #refugee status. So why such an exception for the #Afrikaners?

#Trump ofcl: One of the criteria is making sure they can “assimilate” into our country.

Trump’s EO shutting down the refugee program made exceptions “to admit only those #refugees who can fully & appropriately assimilate into the United States.”

For Trump, that means #WhiteSupremacists.

The 49 #Afrikaners landed at Dulles in Virginia shortly after noon Monday. From there, they were set to board connecting flights to 10 states, where they will be resettled by local #refugee orgs. About 11 others were scheduled to board the plane, but #State Department officials prevented them from doing so due to paperwork issues.

Continued thread

In addition to ties w/ #DesmondTutu, the #EpiscopalChurch has a long history of advocating against #apartheid in #SouthAfrica. It first began altering its financial holdings in the region in 1966, & by the mid-1980s, the church voted to divest from companies doing business in South Africa.

Rowe noted his announcement comes as the #Trump admin has otherwise all but frozen the #refugee program, w/ #Afrikaners among the few—& possibly only—people granted entry as #refugees since Jan.

Continued thread

“In light of our church’s steadfast commitment to racial justice & reconciliation & our historic ties with the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, we are not able to take this step,” Rowe wrote. “Accordingly, we have determined that, by the end of the federal fiscal year, we will conclude our #refugee resettlement #grant agreements with the #US federal government.”

Continued thread

#Trump has halted virtually all #refugee admissions for people fleeing #famine & #war from places like #Sudan & the Democratic Republic of #Congo. But he has created an expedited path into the country for #Afrikaners, a #white ethnic minority that created & led the brutal #apartheid regime in #SouthAfrica.

The refugee process often takes years. But only 3 months have passed from the time Trump signed an EO establishing refugee status for Afrikaners….

The #Trump poster-person for the first Afrikaner #refugees from supposed anti-white racism in #SouthAfrica.

She is not a #refugee by any definition, yet she is being flown here at #taxpayer expense & handed a path to #citizenship while actual refugees are turned away.

Also Trump claims he’s granting "refugee" status to "white farmers”, but this woman lives in Cape Town, isn’t a farmer, & it doesn't seem like she's #Afrikaner since her bio says she was born in Zimbabwe.

Continued thread

#SouthAfrica’s govt has sparred w/ #Trump & his ofcls, saying that they are spreading #misinformation [#disinformation].

Within weeks of announcing that #Afrikaners would be eligible for #refugee status, the admin deployed teams to #Pretoria …to screen #white #SouthAfricans for consideration, acc/to the documents obtained by NYT. The teams studied >8k requests from people expressing interest in becoming #refugees, & the US govt identified 100 Afrikaners who potentially could be approved.
