Why racist rhymes the way it does
In our engine, racist registers as a two-syllable word on the tight /ษช/ (/ษช/) that lets the line dissolve into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 267, assonance 6,562, and consonance 10. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Racist pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
