There is white southern speech that seems to multiply syllables and is difficult to speak unpolitely. It too has a beautiful sound. It lives in Alabama and Southern Mississippi.
But there is also black southern speech that is near unintelligible as English and there is white southern speech that is the same. This speech, black or white sounds worse than uneducated. It is crude. It is vile.
And there is Boston. It's hard to tell if that speech sounds uneducated or not. I can't tell if Urdu is uneducated just by hearing it either.

Woah there, Nellie. You seem to be prejudiced against poor whites from the upper South (as opposed to the Coastal Episcopalian dialect of the Deep South). Speech that includes vulgarity and obscenity is indeed crude and vile, but legitimate dialects that a people have inherited from generations cannot be characterized as such (unless they include vulgarity/proganity/obscenity). Would you have everyone in the country sound the same?

The Boston dialect makes everything sound like the "f"-word. It is very different from the beautiful (and now almost extinct) traditional rural New England accent as typified by Calvin Coolidge, "Titus Moody" (from the old Fred Allen radio show), and Percy Kilbride.
