A TikTok video about white South Africans who immigrate to countries like the US, Australia, and New Zealand has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. This comes amid US President Donald Trump’s offer to Afrikaners to seek asylum or refugee status in America.
The controversial statesman, alongside his SA-born aid Elon Musk, have accused the country of implementing “racist laws” towards the minority community.
TIKTOKER CALLS OUT WHITE SOUTH AFRICANS
On Monday, TikToker YvanaBee posted a video about white South Africans who would be seeking refugee status in the US.
The influencer – who hails from Mauritius- criticised the Afrikaner community and claimed that many Australian and New Zealanders felt the same way.
Yvana claimed that she had come across many Saffas who had sought asylum in her country.
@yvanabee Just speaking from experience, the ones “fleeing” think it’s okay to say the craziest things now that they’ve moved #america ♬ original sound – yvanabee 🇬🇧
Addressing Americans, she said: “When white South Africans move to white majority countries, which the US is, they start thinking that it’s a safe space to say inflammatory things about black South Africans. So, just an FYI, get ready for that”.
In the comment section, citizens of other countries shared similar views.
@brendylicious: “Can’t stand them…They’re so entitled and say the most derogatory things.”
@steveogony: “They are such a problem in Australia.”
@SarahPollock202: “Kiwi here – can confirm. I had one random guy in the line of Rainbows End think I was a safe space for his racism. He quickly learned absolutely not.“
@Katoa77L: “They are all like this! Had a white SA chef on a visa work with us for a short period. Said the most out-of-pocket racist sh*t and was proud of it. We put him in his place, and his a** got fired not long after. They have the biggest superiority complex.”
@muna: “They think they can come into our multicultural country and continue their bigotry.”
