FILE - San Francisco district attorney candidate Kamala Harris, left, serves meals while volunteering in San Francisco, Nov. 27, 2003. Vice President Harris and other politicians of color have often had to code-switch, or purposely adjust one's speech style and express to optimize relatability and ensure their message had cultural resonance. To imply, as former President Donald Trump did Wednesday, July 31, 2024, at a meeting of the National Association of Black Journalists, that Harris and others are inauthentic for doing so speaks to a belief that whiteness is still the default in politics and democracy.
