This question has come up before on Y?Forum and I have to agree that African Americans seem ‘louder’ than other ethnic groups. Nothing on this board applies to ALL members of any ethnic group, and I don’t think this question has anything to do with wanting people to be white. I have lived in several areas of the country and I have noticed that African Americans (young ones) are louder than their counterparts of other ethnic groups. Whether it’s yelling to each other across public areas or standing together yelling at each other, it appears to be fairly common. It’s not a bad thing, just unusual to us white folks who have grown up with the idea that we should remain relatively inconspicuous. And please understand that young people standing around making a lot of noise do nothing to reassure older people, who tend to be intimidated by teenagers no matter what their color. If anyone has a theory on the cultural differences of noise, please speak up!
