The racist suffers from inferior language-processing capacity in his impaired state, and is thus intimidated by innovations in language which others don't find at all problematic. Notice that the racist falls predictably into the pattern of desperate pretense that others who are in fact superior to him would be otherwise. There are many forms of expression which frighten the mentally-inadequate into rejection of them. "Jazz developed in the latter part of the 19th cent. from black work songs, field shouts, sorrow songs, hymns, and spirituals whose harmonic, rhythmic, and melodic elements were predominantly African. Because of its spontaneous, emotional, and improvisational character, and because it is basically of black origin and association, jazz has to some extent not been accorded the degree of recognition it deserves. European audiences have often been more receptive to jazz, and thus many American jazz musicians have become expatriates." http://www.answers.com/jazz&r=67 No one who's educated would refer to the above genre as 'inferior' due to being 'nonstandard'.
