That particular mispronunciation is not racially oriented, in my opinion. When I began college in 1955, in an all-male, private, expensive and white majority school in Schenectady, N.Y., I first heard that same mispronunciation from fellow pledges to a national fraternity. I would surmise it might stem from laziness, but certainly not from racial-ethnic background.
