For some residents of North Carolina, she has been an important symbol of the state and the desire to keep it predominantly European-American. In the 1920s, a group that opposed suffrage for women feared that black women would get the vote. One group in Raleigh, North Carolina urged "that North Carolina remain white ... in the name of Virginia Dare". Today, Virginia Dare's name is used for the VDARE website which is associated with white supremacy, white nationalism, and the alt-right. "Anti-Immigration in the United States: A Historical Encyclopedia" describes VDARE as "one of the most prolific anti-immigration media outlets in the United States" and states that it is "broadly concerned with race issues in the United States".
