"Nikki Haley's Stance on Racism Under Scrutiny: A Breakdown of Key Moments"

Nikki Haley, a Republican presidential candidate and former South Carolina governor, has offered contradictory messages on race throughout her career, calling out individual prejudice but rejecting the idea of systemic racism. As she competes with former President Donald Trump for votes in South Carolina, Haley's approach to race has drawn bipartisan criticism, particularly after refusing to acknowledge slavery as a cause of the Civil War. Haley has faced attacks from Trump based on her ethnicity, but she often uses her own story to emphasize that the U.S. is fundamentally good and a work in progress.
