Daily Caller Reporter Racially Profiled On Trip To South Africa
The Daily Caller ^ | 06/02/2025 | Derek VanBuskirk and Sally Lynne

Derek VanBuskirk, a reporter from the Daily Caller, was racially profiled by a black apparent South African while on his way to the country to investigate claims of genocide in the country.

“After 30 hours of travel, I got here about an hour and a half ago. I actually have already been racially profiled,” VanBuskirk said in a video shared on X. “It actually happened in Paris as I was getting onto the plane.”

VanBuskirk told his colleagues a black man with a what appeared to be a South African accent stopped him at the airport gate as he was boarding his flight from Paris to Johannesburg, asking to see his passport. The man was also traveling to South Africa, was wearing a suit and seemingly was acting in a position of authority, though the reporter still had to present his passport to another official later.

Yep, they wish whites dead or in concentration camps. Look at what they are saying and doing, not what the watered down MSM tells us.

I don’t consider that a big deal. If South Africa wants to profile visitors, whi’s to tell them they can’t? They don’t really put on a pretense of being a free country, and no one has to go there. My father-in-law was Dutch, and my wife is half Dutch and looks it (that’s a good thing: tall blonde). So, I think we’ll hisit elsewhere.

C’mon SA, show us you’re serious.
Quit using the white man’s technology.

Last summer, I spent 10 days in Bonaire.
I’ve never seen so many good looking, fit, blonde women in one place.
The girl friend insisted that the men were equally as attractive.
Interesting place. Think I could live there for awhile.

An unidentified black man approached VanBuskirk at the airport and he engaged with him?
Seems like a very dumb@ss reporter.
