There may be some truth in this, especially when compared to the already stated concept of the stranger, and the threat to order. Not only that, but there may be projection; people do not like that they themselves cannot live the life of higher quality that the Jewish people live, so they project what they feel about themselves onto them.

If African Americans were truly mediocre and a threat to a happy life, then why would Dolphus go off and live with them? This question will eventually come up in Scout’s analysis of Mr. Raymond’s situation and possibly force her image of black people to become less intimidating and more acquainted with them. Aunt Alexandra’s recurrent stereotypes about Maycomb people also are opposing to Mr. Raymond’s life. He came from ancestors who lived with Maycomb tradition consistently.
