Carolyn Holmes, an assistant professor of political science at the University of Tennessee, discusses the intriguing connections between white nationalist movements in South Africa and the United States. She reveals how Donald Trump's focus on South Africa's white Afrikaners influences US refugee policy, exploring historical roots dating back to a 1930s sociological study. Carolyn also examines the cyclical nature of racial narratives, the role of media in shaping perceptions of violence, and critiques the political implications of prioritizing Afrikaners in refugee applications.
