An Atlanta-based American woman, TikTok user @teetwotymess, discussed her encounter with Afrikaner refugees, alleging that some of them were unfriendly, which she initially thought was a cultural difference at first.

She stated that for three weeks, large groups of people have been coming to her job. She shared that the people were very secretive about who they were. After striking up a conversation with one of the friendlier groups, the woman's colleague pointed out how she found it strange that the entire group of people was White, as the groups of people that usually came to her work were diverse.

When one of the Afrikaners overheard the conversation between the two, the person informed them that they were a part of Donald Trump's special Afrikaner group, who fled South Africa after claiming a White genocide took place in the country.

@teetwotymess further alleged that the group was disrespectful towards minority groups and said:

"These are MAGAs (Make America Great Again, Trump's campaign slogan) from South Africa. I get it now."
