President Donald Trump uses “coded” language about race according to a University of Colorado professor.
“Trump has dramatically shifted the narrative with his coded speech about race—and talent for inserting himself into stories about race to ensure all the attention goes to him,” Professor Angie Chuang said for a story on the University of Colorado – Boulder website.
The journalism professor has a book coming out on this topic, called “American Otherness in Journalism: News Media Constructions of Identity and Belonging.
Chuang offered her comments on Trump’s appearance this month at the National Association of Black Journalists. During the appearance, he criticized ABC News reporter Rachel Scott, a black female.
