As far as I know all groups are loud. This woman may become louder if you try to shut her up. I't's a ignorant question because I live and teach in a town that's mostly white and the same can be said for all cultural groups. But it's funny because white people do loud things, drive loud cars at night, motor cycles, parties, bars, violence, etc... but when someone else does the same thing everyone is frightened, and then incident attracts immediate media attention, causing the mostly white authorities to find a way to shut down ethnic bars/ clubs, sometimes indefinately. Black people are arrested and fined more often when police are called, etc... I've seen or read about the same things in white communities without the same consequences... but white people don't seem to even notice these inequities, meanwhile... they're being as loud and annoying as everyone else. Example.. every year we've had halloween parties on State Street but lately, some of the mostly white participants have because drunk and disorderly, breaking store windows, some turned over cars, even police cars, caused small fires, smashed and threw liquor bottles. I am positive that had this group been mostly Black, some of them would have be killed, wounded or inprisoned for a long time. None of these students/ visitors were injured or put in jail for more than a year. Thanks Linda Mathis
