Why aren't you asking why they didn't get that status from a previous administration?

gets assistance with entry into the USA...

Here's an excerpt from the NYT...

Charl Kleinhaus did not like the direction his country was taking.

A white South African, Mr. Kleinhaus said the laws meant to empower Black people after the demise of the racist apartheid system had hurt his mining business. Violence in the country — a scourge affecting everyone, regardless of race — had become too much.

So Mr. Kleinhaus considered his options.

Some of his fellow Afrikaners, the ethnic minority that ruled during apartheid, had moved to Germany, but the language barrier was not ideal. He thought about Australia, but decided that moving his family thousands of miles from home would be too hard.

Then, in February of last year, Mr. Kleinhaus received what he described as “a message from above.” President Trump had suspended refugee admissions to the United States, but he made an exception for people like Mr. Kleinhaus: white Afrikaners who claim they are victims of racial persecution in South Africa.

“It’s now a reverse apartheid,” Mr. Kleinhaus said, summing up his grievances about his homeland. “That’s what we are fighting about now.”

In a matter of months, Mr. Kleinhaus secured refugee status and moved with his family to the United States, completing a process that can take years under normal circumstances. Now, after a year in the country, he has settled in South Dakota, where he has found part-time work at a car dealership, a farm and a brickyard while planning his next business.

Mr. Kleinhaus is among more than 6,000 South Africans — the vast majority of them white — who have benefited from Mr. Trump’s decision to upend America’s refugee program, which for decades had made the United States a sanctuary for people fleeing disaster and persecution.

Under Mr. Trump, the program has effectively become a whites-only path to life in the United States, a culmination of the president’s longstanding antipathy toward immigrants and his embrace of the concept of “reverse racism” as a guiding principle in his administration.

The president has fought to limit immigration for more than a decade, imposing travel bans on mostly African and Muslim-majority nations and making it much more difficult for people from those nations to obtain green cards. He has railed against affirmative action, and in an interview with The New York Times earlier this year said he believed civil rights-era protections had resulted in white people being “very badly treated.”

But few of Mr. Trump’s efforts are as striking as his efforts to turn the refugee program on its head, leaving thousands of people across the world sitting in refugee camps with no chance of entry into the United States, even as he created a workaround for Afrikaners.

...these issues like Biden did. Undoing race based decisions is not racism.

Fred and Donald Trump's history of discrimination against having Black tenants in their NYC apartments, it's very likely the other way around with DJT's Immigration policy.

Btw, If you'd like some history on the NYC Consent Agreement, just ask...then there's the documented dinner at Mar-a-Lago where Trump invited White Supremacist, Nick Fuentes...

Your back is against the wall on this one, Ned...what's your explanation of Trump's actions only preferential treatment for White Afrikaners?

US President Donald Trump confronted South African counterpart Cyril Ramaphosa on Wednesday over widely discredited claims that genocide is being committed against white people.

A week after the US rankled South Africa by granting asylum to nearly 60 Afrikaners, Ramaphosa visited the White House to reset the countries' relations.
Instead Trump put his counterpart on the defensive with claims that white farmers in his nation were being killed and "persecuted".

The South African government allowed the US embassy to consider the asylum applications inside the country, and let the group board a chartered flight from the main international airport in Johannesburg - not scenes normally associated with refugees fleeing persecution.

Who are the Afrikaners?
South African History Online sums up their identity by pointing out that "the modern Afrikaner is descended mainly from Western Europeans who settled on the southern tip of Africa during the middle of the 17th Century".

A mixture of Dutch (34.8%), German (33.7%) and French (13.2%) settlers, they formed a "unique cultural group" which identified itself "completely with African soil", South African History Online noted.

Their language, Afrikaans, is quite similar to Dutch.

But as they planted their roots in Africa, Afrikaners, as well as other white communities, forced black people to leave their land.

Afrikaners are also known as Boers, which actually means farmer, and the group is still closely associated with farming.

In 1948, South Africa's Afrikaner-led government introduced apartheid, or apartness, taking racial segregation to a more extreme level.

This included laws which banned marriages across racial lines, reserved many skilled and semi-skilled jobs for white people, and forced black people to live in what were called townships and homelands.

They were also denied a decent education, with Afrikaner leader Hendrik Verwoerd infamously remarking in the 1950s that "blacks should never be shown the greener pastures of education. They should know their station in life is to be hewers of wood and drawers of water"
.
Afrikaner dominance of South Africa ended in 1994, when black people were allowed to vote for the first time in a nationwide election, bringing Nelson Mandela and the African National Congress (ANC) to power.

Afrikaners currently number more than 2.5 million out of a population of more than 60 million - about 4%.

Is a genocide being committed?

Afrikaners make up about 4% of South Africa's population

None of South Africa's political parties - including those that represent Afrikaners and the white community in general - have claimed that there is a genocide in South Africa.
In fact, Trump's claim was described as "nonsense" by John Steenhuisen - the leader of South Africa's second-biggest party, the Democratic Alliance (DA), and the agriculture minister in the coalition government led by Ramaphosa.

And Jaco Kleynhans, a senior official in the Afrikaner lobby group Solidarity, said he had told US government officials that "there's no genocide and there's no government seizures [of land]".

But such claims have been circulating among right-wing groups for many years, and during his first term, Trump referred to the "large scale killing of farmers" in South Africa.
Some white farmers have been killed but a lot of misleading information has been circulated online.

In February, a South African judge dismissed the idea of a genocide as "clearly imagined" and "not real", when ruling in an inheritance case involving a wealthy benefactor's donation to white supremacist group Boerelegioen.

South Africa does not release crime figures based on race, but in May Police Minister Senzo Mchunu gave a breakdown of killings on farms in order to debunk claims of a genocide.

He said that between January and March, five out of the six people killed on farms were black and one was white.

The white victim lived on a farm, while the black people who were killed comprised two farm owners, two employees and one manager, Mchunu said.
He added that in the previous quarter, from October to December 2024, 12 murders on farms were recorded. One of the 12 - a farm owner - was white.

As Tyrone explained, white Afrikaans have been able to "skip the line" under this administration based on perceived inferior treatment in their county. They are not even enduring hardships such as earthquakes, famine, etc. So go ahead and think of your next unwitty, uninformed but but Biden comeback.
