Controversy and criticism

Some critics of VDARE claim that it publishes pseudoscientific, racist and/or racialist material. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), called VDARE a "hate group," [3] that was "once a relatively mainstream anti-immigration page," but by 2003 became "a meeting place for many on the radical right."[4] The group also criticized VDARE for publishing articles by Jared Taylor and Sam Francis, along with other authors who deal with race and intelligence. A pseudoscience is any body of knowledge purported to be scientific or supported by science but which fails to comply with the scientific method. ... 1. ...

VDARE has published several responses to the SPLC’s charges. In 2001, VDARE columnist James Fulford countered the SPLC’s charge that VDARE is “racist,” writing “this accusation … is intended to drive the victim out of decent society. The SPLC functions like Red Channels in the McCarthy era.”[5] In 2005, VDARE editor Peter Brimelow, who has famously said, “the modern definition of ‘racist’ is someone who’s winning an argument with a liberal,” [6] wrote “the SPLC is just a shakedown scam that preys on the elderly, Holocaust-haunted rich.” [7] And in 2006, in “Heidi Does Long Beach: The SPLC vs. Academic Freedom,” Prof. Kevin MacDonald discussed the SPLC’s so far unsuccessful campaign to try and get him fired from California State University at Long Beach, and its history of initiating campaigns to get those whose ideas it politically opposes fired, rather than contending with them intellectually.[8]

VDARE claims neutrality on all issues save immigration reduction. VDARE columnist James Fulford says allegations of racism and hate are unavoidable since "the majority of Americans are white, and the majority of immigrants are non-white."[9] Fulford lists others who he says have been accused of being racist by liberal organizations (Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Frosty the Snowman, among others), and argues that the group's tactics hurt their own cause more than they are hurting genuine racism. Also, Brimelow argued in his 1996 book Alien Nation, the term 'racist' is a political "smear" (p.10). He states "the only rational definition of racism" is "committing and stubbornly persisting in error about people, regardless of evidence."

VDARE contributors respond to racism charges by noting that the site carries authors from various ethnic backgrounds, including Filipina-American (Malkin), Cuban (George Borjas), one Native American (David A. Yeagley), and Japanese-American (Lance T. Izumi).[10]. Michelle Malkin (née Maglalang) (born October 20, 1970) is an American columnist, blogger, author and political commentator. ...

Hurricane Katrina and IQ

Main article: Steve Sailer

Steve Sailer, who often writes about race and intelligence, argued on VDARE following Hurricane Katrina that the lower average IQ of African-Americans found in intelligence research correlates with "poorer native judgment than members of better-educated groups resulting in the need for stricter moral guidance from society."[11] Steve Sailer Steven Ernest Sailer (born December 20, 1958) is an American journalist and movie critic for The American Conservative, ex-correspondent for UPI, and VDARE.com columnist. ...

John Podhoretz called Sailer a racist[12] — and Sailer responded that his accusers admitted a correlation between low IQ and poor judgment by supporting the Supreme Court's 2002 Atkins v. Virginia decision "that, in effect, banned the death penalty for killers with IQs under 70."[13] John Derbyshire defended Sailer, citing large variance in crime rates by race and birth rates for unmarried women by race.[14]^{[dead link – history]} John Podhoretz (born April 18, 1961) is a U.S. neoconservative commentator for a variety of media sources, the author of several books on politics, and a former presidential speechwriter. ...

According to Peter Brimelow, Sailer's original article has been emailed out by readers (through the link to "email [this article] to a friend") at among the highest volumes seen by VDARE's articles.[15] Sailer also responded to John Podhoretz in “Podhoretz, Junior vs. Steve Sailer” [16], by quoting from a 1963 Commentary essay by Podhoretz’ father, Norman, “My Negro Problem—and Ours” [17], in which Norman Podhoretz made statements on black violence in character with Sailer’s.

“[F]or a long time I was puzzled to think that Jews were supposed to be rich when the only Jews I knew were poor, and that Negroes were supposed to be persecuted when it was the Negroes who were doing the only persecuting I knew about—and doing it, moreover, to me… [It] was the whites, the Italians and Jews, who feared the Negroes, not the other way around.”
