Petition calls on EU to take in White South Africans (Boer genocide)

If they want to come here they should go through the proper channels to do so.

I watched a documentary about these guys most are white supremacists and are trying to claim parts of south-africa as their own....

Thats like me watching a video of the Lords Resistance Army or Boko Haram and saying that this is representative of all africans.

A petition on change.org has about 15000 signatures calling for the EU to allow white South Africans, Namibians and Zimbabweans to be given automatic European citizenship. The petition was funnily enough started by a Brazilian named Rodrigo de Campos.



Why does nobody help them? My understanding is many White South Africans are of Dutch ancestry so why doesn't their government do anything? What about the British they put Boer into concentration camps and treated them pretty badly during the Boer wars. Don't you think we need to help them out?

The problem is this boils down to "give us citizenship because we're white"

If we go by that logic should we deport British ethnic minorities because they're not white?
.

This is a complete false dichotomy

tbf it was quite an old documentary (like 10 years old) and I don't really know much about this issue at all.

The way it was presented (by the bbc) was that the Boer people wanted to stay in south africa and bring about change there rather than leave.

But I admit the documentary was old and i have no idea what the current situation is

Not really. If we're allowing in people based on the arbitrary colour of their skin then we can also deport British citizens based on the colour of their skin. If there is a fallacy you want to jump on then slippery slope might fit the bill better.

This isn't a false dichotomy, because though I didn't mention it (since it's the current system and sort of obvious) there is a viable alternative.

Don't make citizenship about race.

It's an amazingly awesome and legitimate "solution" to the..."problem", because nobody has to do anything.

The real false dilemma is assuming Europe has some obligation to hand out free citizenship to foreigners for some racial concern.

it is a false dichotomy, advocating the return of whites to Europe does not mean we have to advocate deporting non whites it is a false dichotomy

I already explained why it isn't, please read more carefully in future.

"Returning" is also interesting language since a white African is not from Europe.

Thanks for the response.
