These phrases are not intended to communicate, they're intended to obfuscate, to frame the discussion such that only one side may be heard. The term "whiteness", for example, is semantically null but in wide use - everyone pretends to know what it is, and it's bad, but to challenge that vacuity is simply a sign of possessing it. That is not the stuff of any sort of honest discourse and it isn't intended to be, it's a shield against it. I agree, and as others have pointed out, Carville is smart enough to know this. Language is being carefully tailored to take open political discourse (the very heart of the 1st Amendment) and turn it into a one-way street.
Carville focuses on the "problem" being a potential disconnect between the academics and ordinary voters, when in fact he should be more concerned with where this all leads (and we do have recent examples).

Carville added, "We have to talk about race. We should talk about racial injustice,” but "we need to do it without using jargon-y language that’s unrecognizable to most people — including most Black people, by the way — because it signals that you’re trying to talk around them." "Around"? Gimme a break. It's more like talking DOWN to everyone who's not an 'elite'.. See tag...
