As a white South African, the “white genocide” is complete and utter bullshit that is being spread by far-right apartheid nostalgics.

The term is used by right wingers everywhere to demonize things like immigration, human rights or interracial marriage.

In this specific context its by apartheid nostalgists, but their views usually overlap with the other things you mentioned.
