South Africa is walking, slowly, in the direction of Zimbabwe. It is not a quick transition, but neither was Zimbabwe’s. As the power outages increase and the ability to extract mineral wealth decreases the politics of South Africa are in danger of souring. The white and South Asian minorities will, inevitably, become political targets. The assorted black majoritarian myths will become embedded and the settlers of an essentially empty land (saving, as always the Bushmen whom the whites,Zulus and other immigrants slaughtered with gay abandon) will come under increasing pressure to give up their possessions to darker skinned people who deserve them more.
In Zimbabwe this took about twenty years and lead to the ethnic cleansing of the white population and the collapse of the Zimbabwean economy. (My kids have the 100 trillion dollar notes that the bright boys in Harare figured should buy a half dozen eggs.) In Zimbabwe there is no question at all that the land confiscations for political reasons were profoundly racial. South Africa is not there…yet. But, when it is, do we admit South African, white, refugees?

The federal government is taking the rare step of appealing a ruling that granted asylum to a white South African who claimed his skin colour would put his life in danger if he returned to his home country.
Alykhan Velshi, a spokesman for Immigration Minister Jason Kenney, confirmed the government will ask the Federal Court to review a contentious Immigration and Refugee Board decision, which has made headlines around the world and has been widely denounced as racist. ottawa citizen
I know that JasonKenny is loved and hated out in the blogosphere. On this one he should be hated.

Mr. Huntley is either showing foresight or he is a couple of years premature: either way appealing his decision is stupid and racist. He adduced evidence of feeling threatened. In case after case the Refugee Board has accepted such feeling as sufficient. There is no reason not to just because the man hapens to be on the pinkish end of the human scale.
