My Take
Jared Taylor is one of those figures whose biography surprises me before his views ever do. Born in Kobe in 1951 and a Yale graduate, he became the founder and editor of American Renaissance, a publication that has made him a central voice in white nationalist circles. I find him uncomfortable to write about, because the polish of his background sits so strangely against the politics he promotes. I don't admire what he stands for, but I think it's worth being clear-eyed: he's an articulate propagandist, not a fringe crank, which is precisely why his ideas deserve scrutiny rather than dismissal.
