In the Oval Office on Wednesday, President Trump positioned himself as the savior of white South Africans.
Sitting alongside Cyril Ramaphosa, the president of South Africa, Mr. Trump said white people were “being executed.” He referred over and over again to “dead white people.” He dressed down Mr. Ramaphosa, who helped his country cast off the racist policies of apartheid, and questioned why he was not doing more when white people were being killed.

For Mr. Trump, white people are the true victims; Black people and minorities have received an unfair advantage in the United States. And when Mr. Trump looks to South Africa, a majority-Black country emerging from a legacy of apartheid and colonialism, he sees white people who need sanctuary in the United States.

Now, Mr. Trump is making efforts to purge the federal government — and even American culture — of anything he deems “woke” or promoting diversity.
This week, the Trump administration said it would open a civil rights investigation into the city of Chicago to see whether its mayor, who is Black, engaged in a pattern of discrimination by hiring a number of Black people to senior positions.
