VDARE

VDARE is an American website that publishes socio-political commentary pieces, particularly focusing on advocating for a moratorium on immigration into the United States as well as arguments related to race and American politics. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, VDARE is "an anti-immigration hate website" which "regularly publishes articles by prominent white nationalists, race scientists and anti-Semites."Salon calls it a white supremacist group. VDARE editor Peter Brimelow rejected Southern Poverty Law Center's accusations as guilt by association.

The name VDARE refers to Virginia Dare, the first child born to English settlers in the New World (in 1587). Contributors to the website have included Jared Taylor, J. Philippe Rushton, Samuel T. Francis, and many others. The site was launched in 1999 and run by journalist/editor Peter Brimelow, who supports the site through his VDARE Foundation.
