US president claims white South African farmers face systematic killings, echoing debunked white genocide narratives.

Claims of genocide can sometimes be difficult to adjudicate. This claim is easy. The facts show that the genocide President Donald Trump suggests might be happening is not happening – and that crime against White farmers in South Africa represents a tiny fraction of the country’s overall crime.

White farmers have been murdered in South Africa, but those murders account for such a small percentage of the country's total and do not amount to genocide, experts say.
