    What’s with the obsession of fast-tracking white South Africans and acccepting pretty much nobody else? Any relation with a certain billionaire who fits the description?

      It’s an obsession with the lost-cause myth of SA and Zimbabwe among the “”“thinkers”“” of white supremacy that these countries were prosperous and even equitable as racist colonial states but went to shit when “they” took power. The thesis statement being that Africa can only be successful if whites run things.

      The other comment is also correct in that they also probably just want more racist whites who may be willing to carry a gun for the cause. White farmers holding off the “hordes” with guns is a common trope in that myth.
