Black American amazed by Afrikaners' reason to seek refuge

A TikTok creator from America, @mirikac, said she spoke to an Afrikaner who said that she wants to apply to become a refugee. The Afrikaner reportedly said it was because she cannot find a job because of her race, and also feels like her children have no future in South Africa.

The lady said the Afrikaner admitted that she loves South Africa and did not mention that any land that belonged to her was being taken away. The TikTok creator also stated that she does not believe any of the reasons that the Afrikaner gave were enough to be granted refugee status in America. Watch the clip below:

SA debates Americans' take on Afrikaner refugees

People in the comments were divided. Some claimed that there were laws in South Africa that make it harder for Afrikaners to get jobs. Others argued that unemployment was a widespread problem in South Africa.

All things lize said:

"That is not the point, honey. Legislation here makes it impossible for Afrikaans people to obtain employment."

Queen_Gaynor 🇿🇦 argued:

"Since she cannot get a job due to race-based laws made by the government, that makes her a persecuted person and qualifies her to be a refugee."

Dewald74l claimed:

"I can't get a job due to my colour...have over 19 years experience and jobe was given to another person with no experience just because he is not white....even you want to get study grants..get it due to colour, then universities gets burned and trashed, they want more."

Others argued against claims that white people face discrimination in South Africa:

"In South Africa? SHE couldn’t find a job?!?! White people are given preference, higher wages and promotion opportunity😳"

@nkods said:

"Unemployment rate in SA: Whites: 9%, Blacks: 36%."

phenyomamabolo added:

"If you cannot survive in South Africa as a white person, I'm afraid you won't survive anywhere else."

Drifting Squid Games shared:

"As a white American married to a black South African, this whole thing makes my blood boil. We've been trying to get our marriage legally recognised for three years. The US Consulate treated my wife like she was a liar. Afrikaners are not refugees."
