New Century Foundation

The New Century Foundation is a United States 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 sponsors publications and books, and holds occasional conferences. The organization was founded by Jared Taylor, who is its current president. The group publishes the American Renaissance, a monthly white nationalist magazine describing itself as "America's premiere publication of racial-realist thought." One New Century Foundation's publication, The Color of Crime, makes various claims about the relationship between crime and race. The publication concludes that black people are more dangerous than white people, just as "young people are more dangerous than old people" and "men are more dangerous than women." It claims that is logical to take precautions around black people. Taylor was the author of Paved With Good Intentions: The Failure of Race Relations in Contemporary America, a 1991 book that documented supposed problems with U.S. policies on civil rights, crime and welfare. Conservative author Dinesh D'Souza condemned Taylor as an advocate of "the new white racism". The Anti-Defamation League criticized the New Century Foundation for promoting "genteel racism" and for employing dubious techniques to claim the superiority of whites and the need for racial purity.
