Throughout her career, the South Carolina-born daughter of Indian immigrants has generally called out acts of individual prejudice and the people responsible.
But Haley, now a Republican presidential candidate, has avoided denouncing society or groups of people as racist.
Haley, who was Trump's U.N. ambassador, has described facing prejudice in her upbringing in rural Bamberg.
“My parents never wanted us to think we lived in a racist country,” Haley told reporters recently.
When asked by reporters whether Trump's criticisms of her are racist, Haley has instead portrayed him as “desperate to stop our momentum," using any means necessary to attack his opponents.
