“Funny you say that. I know a white SA emigre who claims he got a full ride at Tulane his senior year by applying for an AA scholarship his junior year. He got his citizenship during his junior year. As he tells it, the black clerk in the financial aid office was not amused when he requested an AA scholarship form.”
The only time I’ve ever used my native American tribal membership card was to meet an AA quota for graduate school.
My wife is ex-South African. We have debated several years in trying to decide if she wants to seek US citizenship.
I have suggested to her that things here with regards to govt corruption are very bad, just not as openly dishonest as in SA.
Whites need not apply for govt jobs, and contractors have to have majority black officers or a company need not apply for a govt contract. How is that any different than here in the good ol USA?
Boer farmers and entrepeneurs are what made SA. The farmers are being driven off by violence. Over 300 farmer deaths by violence in the last 8 or 9 years. They are what made SA the powerhouse it once was. The state run electrical system is failing as no upkeep has been done in a couple decades and a recent survey of companies indicated over 25% would not relocate/expand ops because of the unreliable power. Typically off a couple hours a day in residential areas.
Many more SAs would depart if given the opportunity. They tend to be law abiding, protestant, and mostly industrious so clearly Obammy and his moslem Caucasian hating hordes would never welcome them.
I see this country on about the same trajectory with little real opportunity for my kids. Is it now too late? What should my south African spouse do—apply for maximum govt handouts as a minority in the minds of the left? Will we become wealthy due to all the govt granted largesse?
