The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has described Brimelow's website "VDARE" as a hate group, that was "once a relatively mainstream anti-immigration page", but by 2003 became "a meeting place for many on the radical right". The SPLC also criticized "VDARE" for publishing articles by white nationalists Jared Taylor and Sam Francis. It has been called "white nationalist" by the "Rocky Mountain News". It has also been described as white supremacist. VDARE has also been described by the Anti-Defamation League as a racist anti-immigrant group.
