I know the feeling

    Off topic, about the South Africans. I was commenting on the issue here a while back but I got muddled in what I was trying to say.

    - I doubt many Boers will ever leave Africa - see Boer history. They are justified in disliking us English after the brutal Boer War (which Australia joined). I respect their fierce independence.

    - I know lots of South Africans in Australia, white and Indian, who have migrated - recent census says at least 200k are already here. White South Africans are 'English' I'm told. Not Boers, although a few Boers are here also.

    It hadn't occurred to me that there was an issue of being offered refugee status, since migration to Australia on merit is fairly easy for them anyway I think, or was.

    But if refugee status is what it took to accept them in the USA, it's a great move.
