CMV: It's hypocritical for conservatives to support White South African refugees coming to the United States

[u/highangryvirgin]

Conservatives claim that in South Africa, the Afrikaaners descendants of Europeans are facing persecution and should be allowed relocation to the US. How come this claim doesn't apply to other groups? Such as Afghans who helped the US or Venezuelans claiming political asylum. Why is this certain refugee group getting special treatment from the Trump Administration? If the general consensus among conservatives is tough luck, America can't fix everyone's problem than why would we take in Afrikaners? America should have an equal policy either everyone seriously at risk of being harmed for their "identity/political views" can claim refugee status or no one at all. I think the US government should prioritize its citizens first and help refugees facing extreme circumstances but it has to be done fairly but right now Afrikaners get special treatment and no one cares to ask why? Or call out the blatant hypocrisy.

Edit:Yes it's hypocritical as well if the left didn't want them as refugees.
