1. A group of more than 40 prominent white South Africans have hit back at [Donald Trump’s claims they are being “slaughtered,”](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/south-africa-refugees-white-farmers-trump-b2749416.html) telling the president that they are “not pawns in America’s culture wars.”

   [In an open letter,](https://www.afrikanersvirsa.co.za/en) the group – which included political analysts, economists, lawyers, journalists, religious figures and historians – [rejected the narrative that they were the victims of racial persecution and even genocide](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-white-south-african-refugee-plan-b2855650.html), saying that it was “not only misleading, but dangerous.”

2. Prominent white South Africans is a funny term lol
