White South African Granted Refugee Status in Canada

[Auld Yin]

"We thought that maybe there were another hundred white people left," said tribunal spokesperson Alba Snow. "We were ready to send a helicopter to airlift them to safety," she added.

Snow admitted that evacuation plans had been put on hold after video footage of Patricia Lewis live in Brakpan had been downloaded from YouTube. "The only person that stood out like a sore thumb in that video was a black sound engineer who looked like he was bleeding out of both ears," she said.

In my opinion this is absolute claptrap from a overly imaginative journalist. If anyone believes for one nanosecond that Canada's Immigration and Refugee Board could decide, organize and implement an evacuation airlift from South Africa then I have a wonderful piece of swampland in Florida for sale to you.

It is part of the same artical quoted earlier. original quote came from satirical news sight. You need to read the whole artical to see the first quote in its true context. Of course it is complete clap trap as was the previous quote. It is a shame as it then detracts from an intresting post.

You have got to give the chap some credit - He managed to leave SA without the hassle of immigration / visas / points. Fear is a huge motivator.....

South Africans require a visa to visit Canada but, unless the man in question had a criminal record or answered the questions in a peculiar manner there would be no reason to deny him one. I doubt there are many white South Africans claiming refugee status.
I suspect the decision to grant him status will be rescinded by the Government Minister responsible and some Immigration and Refugee Board members will get their knuckles rapped are possibly dismissed.

Apologies, I was sent that link by a colleague and did not realise it was a joke, I got so worked up and did not check the source of the article. My mistake for being impulsive, British hypocrisy regarding Zimbabwe and South Africa is one of my pet hates and I saw red, instead I should have read...

I can't believe that Canada fell for his lies. It's odd that after 7 attacks, he never reported anything to the police. And what about medical records? He says he was stabbed in several of the attacks - yet he isn't volunteering the names & dates of when he got medical attention. The media have contacted several old friends and family of his and there's little memory of him getting attacked.

Fact is he was not being singled out and attacked because he is white. Yes SA has a lot of crime but very little crime is race driven. Most (not all) crime is based on monetary gain with the crimes committed by heartless cold blooded killers. They will kill and torture if they think you are hiding money or goods from them. They will kill you regardless of your skin colour.

The issue of this guy's claim was that he was being regularly targeted because he is white. He is talking pure manure! General crime or racist affirmative action isn't grounds for a refugee claim.

Mmm . . . +-50 million blacks or more (who's counting?) and between 3 - 5million whites in SA. (Children, teenagers, adults and the aged?) Are most of these whites responsible for the Rapes, murders, armed robberies, Farm murders, racial slurs, comments, etc?

I have canadian friends here that have experienced SA first hand and have a problem with that statement of whites being responsible for above mentioned crimes.
