A group of Afrikaans-speaking South Africans, along with a University of Pretoria historian, have condemned the United States for distorting their reality to fit a dangerous political narrative.
In a strongly worded open letter titled , the group accused American conservatives of portraying Afrikaners as racially persecuted victims in post-apartheid South Africa, a claim they call deeply misleading and politically manipulative.
Their frustration stems from the growing use of Afrikaner identity to fuel the far-right Great Replacement theory in US political circles, which falsely suggests that white populations are being systematically displaced.
