Unlike Amy, I am less likely to give Mike Pence the benefit of the doubt on this. It is not even subtle enough to qualify as a dogwhistle.
There were some distinguishing moments. Mike Pence of Indiana citing a Lincoln quote about how "the negro" and "the white man" were entitled to the same rights, and then declared to cheers and applause: "Our party was founded on equality of opportunity for all Americans, and to that vision we must return." I'm going to give Pence the benefit of the doubt and assume he was not implying that whites are being denied equality of opportunity under a black president, but I'll admit the use of that particular reference stumped me.
