White liberals 'patronize' minorities: study
Leftists Nigger It DOWN!
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news...ownplaying-co/
Yale and Princeton researchers found that both white Democratic presidential candidates and self-identified liberals played down their competence when speaking to minorities, using fewer words that conveyed accomplishment and more words that expressed warmth.
On the other hand, there were no significant differences in how white conservatives, including Republican presidential candidates, spoke to white versus minority audiences.

The study flies in the face of a standard talking point of the political left—that white conservatives are racist—while raising questions about whether liberals are perpetuating racial stereotypes about blacks being less competent than whites.
The paper, which is slated for publication in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, first examined speeches by Republican and Democratic presidential candidates to mostly white and mostly minority audiences dating back 25 years.
Ms. Dupree and Princeton’s Susan Fiske analyzed the text for “words related to competence,” such as “assertive” and “competitive,” and “words related to warmth,” such as “supportive” and “compassionate.”
“The team found that Democratic candidates used fewer competence-related words in speeches delivered to mostly minority audiences than they did in speeches delivered to mostly white audiences,” said the Yale press release. “The difference wasn’t statistically significant in speeches by Republican candidates.”

Someone needed to conduct a 'study' to come to this conclusion??

Claiming the "study" part may be an effective way to avoid the label "conspiracy theorist".
I may be wrong... perhaps I'll conduct a study on the matter.

There is a far more natural conclusion to be drawn, the correct conclusion, which is that you naturally simplify your language when dealing with simpler people. The average IQ of a black person is lower than a white person, and lower IQ people can't understand complex ideas as easily, therefore any reasonable person would in fact use simpler language to communicate with such people. This is the real reason, and not that white liberals hate the color of black people's skin, which for some reason is still the prevailing narrative when it comes to things like this.

The study is "academic evidence" that White/"White" leftists recognize "minorities'" inferior cognition, not necessarily that they have contempt ("racial hatred") for them. You and I knew that already, but "some people" need to have a "study" with "Piled High, and Deep" behind the authors' names.
