The New Century Foundation is nonprofit organization founded in 1994 to study immigration and race relations. From 1994 to 1999 its activities received considerable funding by the Pioneer Fund.[1][2][3], and has been described as a white supremacist group.[4]

The organization is headed by founder Jared Taylor and is known primarily for publishing American Renaissance. Taylor advocates voluntary segregation as a natural expression of racial solidarity while denying that his views constitute white supremacism. Viewing societal problems as racial and religious in nature, Taylor upholds racial homogeneity as the key to peaceful coexistence. He sees Japan as an exemplar of a racially homogenous society, and views Asians generally as genetically superior in intelligence to whites. He also view whites as genetically superior in intelligence to blacks.[5][6]

Regarding Jews, the ADL writes that "Taylor eschews anti-Semitism. Seeing Jews as white, greatly influential and the “conscience of society,” Taylor rather seeks to partner with Jews who share his views on race and racial diversity" and "Jews have been speakers and/or participants at all eight American Renaissance conferences" although controversy followed accusations by David Duke, who was not a scheduled presenter, at the 2006 conference.[5] Taylor in response wrote that "There will be no more disgraceful behavior of this kind if people who attend AR conferences bear in mind that Jews have a valuable role in the work of American Renaissance, and are welcome participants and speakers. Anyone who thinks otherwise has the choice of staying home or keeping his views to himself."[7]

The Color of Crime

The Color of Crime is a publication by Jared Taylor, describing race differences in criminal offending in the United States.[8] The study finds that African Americans and Hispanics are disproportionately overrepresented among criminal offenders, while Asian Americans are underrepresented.

There is also a study in the publication showing a correlation between the proportion of Black residents in a community and the community's crime rate. According to the publication, the proportion of residents that are African American or Hispanic better predicts a community's crime rate than do other variables.

The publication notes that Blacks are as much more likely than Whites to commit crimes as men are than women. The publication also finds that there is more Black-on-White interracial crime than there is White-on-Black crime, and that contrary to popular belief, Blacks commit more white-collar crime than do Whites.

The publication also refutes the notion that the police are biased against Blacks or other ethnic groups. The publication concludes by saying that research into race differences in criminal behavior is a worthwhile pursuit and suggests that immigration policy consider these differences.

According to their findings, the approximately 1.7 million interracial crimes committed in the U.S. each year, 90% are committed by blacks against whites.[9] The publication notes that, contrary to public belief, Blacks are more likely than Whites to commit hate crimes.

The publication has been mentioned on C-Span.[9] Glenn Spencer, an anti-immigrant activist, promoted it on his website.[10] In The new white nationalism in America: its challenge to integration (Cambridge University Press, 2002), Carol Miller Swain observed that the New Century Foundation faxed conclusions from the publication to major US newspapers, and that its stated purpose was to support the practice of racial profiling.[11]

Criticism

The Southern Poverty Law Center called it "a kind of Bible" among its supporters but has argued that the reason for the disparity in crime rates shown in the publication is not Black genetics, but rather, the fact that Blacks have a lower socioeconomic status. The SPLC center accuses Taylor of selection bias in his statistics. The SPLC also argues that Whites are targeted for robberies simply because of their higher wealth. [12] However, Taylor counters by arguing that robberies only account for about one quarter of the total crimes committed by Blacks.[9]

In Hate Crimes, Barbara Perry refers to the book as a classic of the genre of output by white nationalist academic racists.[13]
