White House stirs controversy by calling Afrikaners, descended from Dutch colonists, victims of discrimination
A group of white South Africans have arrived in the US after being granted refugee status by Donald Trump’s administration, stirring controversy in South Africa by declaring Afrikaners victims of racial discrimination.
The Afrikaners, a minority descended from mainly Dutch colonists, were met at Dulles international airport outside Washington DC by US deputy secretary of state, Christopher Landau, and deputy secretary of homeland security, Troy Edgar, with many given US flags to wave.
