The first group of white South Africans, chosen by President Donald Trump’s administration to resettle in Alabama, have arrived in the state.

“We are mandated to serve all refugees, no matter how they arrive,” said Liz Kurtz, the Alabama refugee coordinator for Inspiritus, a nonprofit that operates out of Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee. She declined to share details about the number of Afrikaner families moving to Alabama, citing privacy protections. They began to arrive May 12.

This is perfect since South Africa used the Jim Crow South as a model for crafting apartheid. The Nazis also modeled their state's racial policies on the post-Reconstruction American South.
