Some thoughts on "white genocide" in South Africa, as a scholar of both South Africa and genocide. The idea of a "white genocide" has been floating around for well over a decade.
To assess the claims, requires looking both at the treatment of whites in South Africa and the definition of genocide.

And recall everyone that: (a) DOGE is not authorized by an Act of Congress; (b) DOGE’s “review” is not statutorily mandated; and (c) DOGE is supposed to merely advisory.
Hearing now that every National Science Foundation grant is having to go through a new “DOGE review”. So existing grants and long term science and technology research having to undergo review by one of Elon’s interns. Huge percentage not passing their muster.
