NYT: Welcome Materials For South African “Refugees” Will Include Racist And Pro-Trump US History Claims

The welcome bags include a report commissioned by Mr. Trump during his first term that downplays the role of slavery in the country’s founding, and a children’s book accusing South Africa’s government of “favoring the Black population.” The gifts would be the latest step by the Trump administration to welcome the white minority in South Africa, even as the president maintains a ban on refugees fleeing from war and persecution everywhere else in the world.

  1. Ugh. Just ugh. What awful people to come up with a “welcome” like that, even if the “refugees” appreciate it. Then they’re awful, too.
