The New Century Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization founded in 1994 to study immigration and race relations so as to better understand the consequences of America’s increasing diversity. ...

It promotes a white nationalist viewpoint, asserting that European Americans are entitled to promote their common interests. The magazine and foundation were founded by Jared Taylor, and the first issue was published in November 1990. The magazine describes itself as a "literate, undeceived journal of race, immigration, and the decline of civility." A main theme of the magazine is to demonstrate that non-white minorities pose a "demographic threat" to the United States and other European-derived nations. The magazine argues that the United States' major social problems are due to racial diversity, and due to a weakening of the country's "white racial heritage" by increased non-white immigration to the US.

The magazine and foundation promote the view that differences in educational outcomes and per capita incomes between racial populations can be attributed to differences in intelligence between races. Such views have led to accusations of racism and white supremacy, but American Renaissance and its supporters claim to advocate freedom of association rather than separatism and claim to denounce racial supremacism. The organization has held bi-annual conferences that have attracted neo-Nazis, white nationalists, white separatists, Ku Klux Klan members, Holocaust deniers and eugenicists (as well as numerous protestors), although the neo-Nazis and KKKers were eventually kicked out of American Renaissance for anti-Semitism. ^[1] Contributors to the magazine and conferences have included Stephen Webster, Michael Levin, Nick Griffin, Bruno Gollnisch, J.

Critics claim that the magazine uses pseudoscience to give the impression that it provides well-researched, carefully thought-out assessments of differences between races. The critics say contributors to the magazine cite facts and statistics derived from reputable sources, but taken out of context. They say the magazine's writers extrapolate or exaggerate conclusions that the data does not bear out, or that they emphasize data that supports their racist positions while ignoring or downplaying contrary evidence. Critics also argue that links between American Renaissance and the New Century Foundation with far right, neo-fascist and racist organizations and individuals (such as the Council of Conservative Citizens, the Pioneer Fund, the British National Party, Don Black and David Duke) are evidence that the magazine's promotion of itself as "literate and intelligent" is a veneer for a crude and malevolent political agenda. ^{[2] [3]} Phrenology is regarded today as a classic example of pseudoscience. ...

Common themes

Some of the views promoted in the magazine have been that:

• Racial categories have a biological/genetic basis.
• Racial differences exist and are meaningful as a fundamental aspect of individual and group self-identification.
• Race is a primary determinant of human intelligence and behavior.
• Genetics and race are linked to differences in educational and economic outcomes.
• Racial preference and bias is natural and inevitable; people naturally prefer the company (and by extension the racial composition of their nation) of people from the same racial group.
• Racial preference and bias is logical and pragmatic, rather than merely ideological.
• Organizations such as the Council of Conservative Citizens, British National Party, La Raza, Mecha and the NAACP are morally equivalent, and simply represent expressions of natural racial self-identification.
• Immigration by non-white people leads to negative social trends such as a declines in moral behavior, rising rates of criminality, and declines in the standard of living and per capita income.
• Non-white immigration to First World nations such as the United States should be greatly curtailed.
• There is a strong media bias regarding issues of race and racism, and that hate crimes against white people are vastly underreported, whereas similar crimes against minorities receive great attention.

Such arguments are usually explained using social science and genetics, but some issues of AR have featured theological arguments. One argument has been that interracial and inter-cultural marriage is "racial suicide" and an "unequal yoking", and that such unions "go against the very community which marriage is designed to establish."^[4] See also the category disambiguation page. ...
