criticism

Jared Taylor has been described by critics as a leading academic proponent of the racist ideology of white supremacy in the United States. At conferences that were organized by him, he protested against anti-Semitic statements.

Jared Taylor is heavily criticized by some civil rights organizations in the United States. According to an article in the Intelligence Report , a publication by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), he appears as a cultivated, cosmopolitan face of white superiority, but is an intellectual keyword for today's secret allies of the Ku Klux Klan . The judgment about him in a portrait on the website of the SPLC is similar: Through his appearance and his demeanor, he presents himself as a distinguished thinker of "white superiority" in tone and appearance, but he is an old-school racist colonizer .

In an article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Taylor was described as "a racist in the guise of expert" ( German : "a racist in the guise of an expert").
