Or what he said afterwards: "There were very fine people on both sides."

But while he has never hidden his racism, I do feel that this stunt with the white South Africans is a new level of in-your-face blatancy. This isn't just more of his usual bigotry; he's going out of his way to do a special favor for a particular group of white people who used to be the ruling class in their majority black country. Giving white Afrikaners "refugee" status isn't just more of the same old, same old, imo. It's white favoritism taken to a whole new level, and it's extra, extra gross.
