On 12 February 2026, an African American woman, TikTok user @teetwotymess, shared her unsettling experience with Afrikaner refugees, highlighting how some of them were allegedly racist in the workplace. Her TikTok video reached the For You Page of a South African content creator named Lindi, who wasn't surprised by the Afrikaners' attitude.

@teetwotymess was initially unaware that the Afrikaners were a part of Donald Trump's resettlement programme: an initiative that came to fruition after he accused the South African government of carrying out a White genocide. The woman shared how the group of Afrikaner refugees, whom she had to work with, had a bad attitude and didn't greet her. She thought it was a cultural difference but soon realised it wasn't the case when a friendlier group of Afrikaners spoke to her about why they were in the country.

After showing a snippet of the American woman's video, Lindi, a proud Afrikaner, stated her opinion:

"I think every single South African who watched that video, who is not racist, will laugh because we know the attitude of those racist, apartheid apologists. They just went and took their attitude that they had in South Africa and doing the exact same thing in America."
