'POLITICAL ASYLUM' What 49 white SA farmers reveal about Americas racial future
The Star
|May 20, 2025
WHEN 49 white South African farmers landed on US soil under the banner of political asylum - endorsed by former President Donald Trump and rumoured to be bankrolled by Elon Musk - the headlines framed it as a humanitarian rescue.
But this was no ordinary migration.
This was a message.
Behind the narrative of “white genocide” lies a darker, more calculated ambition: the quiet remapping of American identity through selective racial migration. These farmers, descendants of the Afrikaner settler class in South Africa, carry with them more than just agricultural skills. They carry a cultural legacy of land-based identity, language isolation, and colonial self-preservation - elements now taking root in the American soil.
