¿Cómo se convirtieron los sudafricanos blancos en el rostro de la política de refugiados de Trump? | The Global Story

De BBC News, parte de The Global Story, analiza por qué los sudafricanos blancos, en particular los afrikáners, se han convertido en el principal grupo admitido en el programa de refugiados de EE. UU. en el último año. Según el video, EE. UU. ha admitido unos 13.000 refugiados, muy por debajo de años anteriores, y casi todas las llegadas recientes son sudafricanos blancos. Incluye también conversaciones con afrikáners que se han mudado a EE. UU. bajo las nuevas políticas.

In the last year, the US has admitted just 13,000 refugees — a fraction of the number it has accepted in previous years. And almost all of those new arrivals have been white South Africans. The Trump administration says Afrikaners are fleeing persecution in South Africa. But there is little evidence of attacks specifically targeting the country’s white Afrikaner minority. South Africa’s new ambassador to the US has told the BBC that the idea of a mass attack against white Afrikaners simply does not exist. So why have Afrikaners been given preferential access to the US refugee programme? And what has life in America been like for those who have made the journey? Today on The Global Story, the BBC’s North America correspondent Ione Wells and Africa producer Ed Habershon share their conversations with the Afrikaners who are using new refugee policies to immigrate to the US — and the South African officials who say the Trump administration is overlooking the full picture.
