Dunno, portrayal of US south landowners (and slaveholders) in manners and taste in movies and books seems not much better than what he seemingly means. Even with that flavor of idealization of the Victorian times. The example is a result of a guess what he'd consider not "negrous".
What are the exceptions, if we replace the funny word with "tasteless and stolen"? (I can't, well, maybe Bill Gates, but in essence when people in our age become that rich, they start to perceive that as good taste and unconsciously strive to that)
