Not Just the White Man’s Burden

Anti-immigrant riots are spreading across Africa and Asia, too.

When BLM thugs rioted for months on end in the US over a violent career criminal, the media-political establishment fell over itself to ‘take the knee’ and “understand their rage”, in the words of (temporary) UK PM Keir Starmer. Despite the most extensive property damage in the history of US civil unrest, and over 30 murders by the rioters, the establishment wittered that it was ‘mostly peaceful’.

When white Britons do indeed mostly peacefully protest about the unrelenting tide of rape and violence unleashed by migrants, legal and illegal, the establishment screeches blue murder about ‘far-right racism’. Because, they tell us, only white people can be racist (which is a deeply racist argument in itself).

Just ignore the murderous racism of black and brown people across the world.

Nigeria said on Sunday that two of its nationals were killed last month in South Africa following violent anti-immigrant protests targeting African workers in the country.

The Nigerians were killed June 28, two days before an unofficial deadline by protesters for foreigners to leave, the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.

While Western elites clutch their pearls and lecture their own populations about the boundless joys of ‘diversity’, other nations are showing exactly how it’s done when the bill comes due. In South Africa and South Korea, leaders are singing from the same hymn book about the supposed ‘benefits’ of mass immigration. Their citizens aren’t buying it for an instant.

South Africa has form: in 2008 more than 60 died in xenophobic attacks. This time around, migrants opened fire on protesters in some areas. Locals retaliated. Businesses shut. The army was put on standby.

You can’t deny that the South Africans, for all their own dysfunction, are at least getting things done. Migrants are voluntarily (or not-so-voluntarily) buggering off home in their thousands. Migrant camps are being dismantled with the sort of haste one usually only sees when there’s a free braai.

Contrast that with the West, where politicians wring their hands, open more hotels and lecture natives about tolerance while the body count rises.

Asians aren’t dragging their heels either. In South Korea, thousands marched demanding undocumented migrants leave. President Lee Jae Myung called recent anti-foreigner protests “self-destructive and totally useless” and announced measures to stop “racial hatred”.

South Koreans told him – and the foreign freeloaders – where to go.

The arrival of around 550 people from war-ravaged Yemen between January and May sparked an uncompromising reaction, with South Koreans warning that the refugees could be seeking economic advantage rather than protection and that they could lead to an increase in crime and other social problems.

“Is the government crazy? These are Muslims who will rape our daughters!” was one of the top comments, liked by thousands, on Naver, the country’s top internet portal.

A record petition – nearly 700,000 signatures – demanded tighter refugee laws. Yemenis who arrived on Jeju Island via a visa loophole sparked fury. “Europe may have historical baggage… but South Korea has no such moral obligation,” the petition stated bluntly.

“I heard that Yemen has a very poor record in women’s rights... and I’m afraid that the island will become more dangerous than before and the crime rate will go up,” one young South Korean told reporters. Another asked why Yemenis should come all the way to Korea when safer options exist closer to home.

And those were the polite reactions.

Many are openly mocked on public transport for being “dirty” or “smelly”, and refused entry to fancy restaurants or public baths.

A government survey in 2015 showed that 32 per cent of South Koreans do not want a foreigner as a neighbour – far higher than 14 per cent in the US and China’s 12.2 per cent.

South Koreans aren’t falling over themselves to import incompatible cultures and then criminalise criticism. Like South Africans, they’re acting in their own interests: protecting their people, culture, and way of life. Exactly what Western governments were elected to do, before they decided virtue-signalling to globalist elites mattered more than their own citizens.

By contrast, Western populations have been a model of tolerance in the face of egregious behaviour by mostly Muslim and African migrants. And look how they’ve been rewarded.
