A few of the comments are overly racial. The fact is I've listened to many caucasians on cell phones who either talked too loud or talked at inappropriate places at times (in movie theaters, on trains in the middle of the night).

Just take a look at Metra's "On the Bi-Level" newsletter (it's on the Metra website) and read the all the cell phone complaints about all the commuters from those "nice suburbs" served by Metra.

Conversely, one morning, on my way to work, I was sitting next to a young African-American woman who was talking on a cell phone through a mouth piece. She talked so quietly, I could not hear a thing she was saying.
