A group of more than 40 prominent white South Africans have hit back at Donald Trump’s claims they are being “slaughtered,” telling the president that they are “not pawns in America’s culture wars.”

In an open letter, the group – which included political analysts, economists, lawyers, journalists, religious figures and historians – rejected the narrative that they were the victims of racial persecution and even genocide, saying that it was “not only misleading, but dangerous.”

It comes after Trump’s repeated and disputed claims that white South Africans are being killed and their lands are being confiscated, with the president declaring that the U.S. would be boycotting the upcoming G20 summit of world leaders, which is being held in South Africa.

“We reject the narrative that casts Afrikaners as victims of racial persecution in post-apartheid South Africa. This framing, now being used to support the far-right ‘Great Replacement’ theory in the United States, is not only misleading, but also dangerous.

“It distorts the realities of South Africa, weaponizes our history, and reduces a complex social context and necessary leveling of playing fields into a simplistic symbol of white decline.”
