Article basically reads..
"People write speeches to fit their audience"
Aren't academics great?
So if I want to write a 15-20 minute speech on reducing knife crime in London, do I fill that speech with 6-7 syllable words to sound intelligent or do I write it so that when it's given its accessible to everyone and understandable? I wonder.

No the article says that when white liberals meet or encounter people of color on the street or at work they dumb down their conversation because they think the person they're talking to is retarded.
They're not talking about speeches per se.
