  Your Wikipedia article says exactly the same in the very first graph? Quote: “it is unclear whether farmers are at greater risk of being murdered than other South Africans” Later: “Fact-checkers have widely identified the notion of a "white genocide" in South Africa as a falsehood or myth.[12][17]”

    If you follow the source into the BBC and then a study that they quote in the BBC as well, you’ll see that farmers regardelss of skin color are at greater risk: https://irr.org.za/reports/research-policy-brief/Farm%20attacks%20in%20South%20Africa%20-%20a%20new%20analysis..pdf https://irr.org.za/reports/research-policy-brief/Farm%20atta...

  > Unsubstantiated claims that such attacks on farmers disproportionately target whites are a key element of the white genocide conspiracy theory and have become a common talking point among white nationalists worldwide.[11][12][13][14][15][16] However, there are no reliable figures that suggest that white farmers are being targeted in particular or that they are at a disproportionate risk of being killed.[1][4][12][17][18][19][16] In fact, while South Africa has more white farmers overall, black farm workers are more likely to be killed.[2][3] Fact-checkers have widely identified the notion of a "white genocide" in South Africa as a falsehood or myth.[12][17]
