Anything cultural that deviates from this (Elvis) is a threat to their WASPish ways. While Prelutsky stated the WASP family values with the subtlety(sp) of a hammer swinging Leatherface, the likes of Bill Donohue, Terry Jeffrey and Pat Buchanan say the same things with a little more tact.

I'd even go so far as to say it hits the same core ideas as <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8SBFgsi5e0" rel="nofollow">Dave Chapel's Racial Draft</a>. The same sort of stigma attached to a young black man from the inner city is not attachedk to Collen Powel or Condi Rice. The difference between the two cannot be seen in genetics, but rather in culture. This may represent a newer form of racism than the older form which thought that being born in a race predisposes you to certain abilities. However this also starts to blur the line between racism and related issues such as beliefs that people from rural areas are "backwards", etc. I think he’s talking about an interesting point, if in an inept way.
