whites can't be refugees?

I'm asking a serious question, not trying to troll. A friend of mine and his family fled South Africa 20+ years ago after they were run out of their home. That's all I have to go on except corporate media, which I ignore wholesale. I don't use social media go I guess I can't see the "boots on the ground" perspectives that its supposed to be able to show.

Can someone educate me please?
