Genocide Watch has theorised that farm attacks constitute early warning signs of genocide against White South Africans and has criticised the South African government for its inaction on the issue, pointing out that the murder rate for them ("ethno-European farmers" in their report, which also included non-Afrikaner farmers of European descent) is four times that of the general South African population.
It was 1947, and the border between the new nations of India and Pakistan had just been created.
Salahuddin and his family found themselves on the Indian side of the border.
They were Muslims in a land dominated by Hindus and Sikhs.
"I heard a shriek. I turned and I saw a Sikh with a sword in hand and my sister was running," he recalls.
"First, they entered the room of my mother, killed her, then they ran towards us."
Salahuddin fled in fear. When he returned, his mother lay mutilated.
"It was just like … a slaughterhouse," he says.
Back then, Salahuddin knew little of the political events that foreshadowed the deaths of his mother and at least a million more people across the Indian subcontinent.
But it was people like him who endured the deadly aftermath of Britain's historic decision to relinquish its Indian empire and carve it into two new nations along religious lines.
Now, 70 years later, memories of the horrors that unfolded as Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs turned on each other, remain raw in the minds of those who survived.
So, you place the value of some lives over the value of others.
Got it.
So I don't consider white South Africans to be more important than Syrians.
Deal with it.
Neither do I. I think both should be assessed on their individual situations and granted asylum accordingly.
I have been advocating for equal treatment -- you were the one who seemed to think it was okay if South Africans died -- as long as they were white, of course.
Some facts about life in South Africa-
•There were 19,000 murders in South Africa last year, more than in the United States, which has a population size 6 times as big as South Africa.
•1 in 3 women living in South Africa will be raped in their lifetime.
• HIV rates amongst South Africans are so high, that many women and children who survive being raped there are at enormous risk of being infected with the disease by their rapist.

Australia granted 12,000 visas to Syrians due to extreme violence in their home country. Australia is a great country with only 24 million people. They should help white South Africans who need to get out of a hellish country.

Different situations. The black South Africans have their choice among much of the African continent. Because of political correctness the whites have few other choices. Much like the Jews during the 1930's. So the right answer is "yes."Did Australia grant asylum to black South Africans during apartheid? No. So they shouldn't grant asylum to white South Africans.
White South Africans still have an economic and social advantage oved (over???) black South Africans, so it's a silly question.

In other words, you don't know if they applied.
Did you read the OP? Both South Africans who were denied asylum have experienced extreme violence. The imaginary white privilege you've bestowed upon them didn't save them from the savagery of life in S.A.
It doesn't matter if they applied as they wouldn't have been able to get there regardless due to the Apartheid government removing citizenship status from black South Africans and therefore removing the ability to get passports.
Wah! Everybody's out to get white people! Wah! :roll:
Interesting dodge. Very interesting.
If you ask me, you're more than just a little peeved that we pinned down your dislike of someone who is in need based on their skin color.
Do you simply not have the ability to emphasize with white victims?
It doesn't fit your narrow-minded narrative, does it?
Nope, it's a pretty typical conservative shriek at this point. Y'all live in a a fantasy world where no matter what happens, white people are always the "real" victims.
Luckily, nobody asked you to spew your fantasies or your halfassed justifications for apartheid("despite the fact that they were brutally oppressed in their own country, it was the Black South Africans killing everybody)

The Netherlands are too Islamified.One would think a more likely location for asylum for South Africans would be The Netherlands.
From reading most peoples comments, I would say there is a fair amount of hysteria ongoing, but few people have the first ****ing clue about the history of, settlement of, and immigration to South Africa.
The Netherlands are too Islamified.
Islamicized enough that Ayaan Hirsi Ali, an apostate Muslim, was in mortal danger, and her film-making partner, Theo Van Gogh,was brutally murdered. See Provocateur's Death Haunts the Dutch - The New York Times.The Netherlands are too Islamified.
4% is hardly Islamified.
Is this true?No. White South Africans, upon arrival into Australia, continue to speak Afrikaans, keep their cultural and religious practices, and refuse to participate in Australian society in a meaningful way. They refuse to integrate, so they shouldn't be allowed in.

Where's your proof of any of that?
I had a bunch of South African friends in high school, their parents all formed a little social enclave.
That's pretty normal to do after migrating to a new country. They should be easier to assimilate than some of the other refugee groups living in Australia.
No, isolated enclaves of minority groups with their own language and religion are bad.
