Usually the more standard variety is called the High-variety or H-variety the other is called Low-variety or L-variety. The High-variety has greater social prestige while the Low-variety is used in relatively informal contexts. Therefore in a speech community like the U.

The official"s remark obviously is discrimination towards those campaigners who got an accent and is definitely wrong and impolite. There is no such a difference between the status of languages or language varieties; no one is superior or inferior to others as long as it can serve its users well.
