Have you ever worked with Spanish speaking people? Many of them speak very loudly / animated especially on the phone.

We've had several Spanish RE agents in our office. This is a common trait mostly among the men. On the phone, they speak with gusto and at a level twice that of a normal conversation.

If you were around Spanish speakers you would know this happens a lot. Spanish can be loud.

BTW, my sister teaches Spanish in HS and is married to a man from Mexico. I have zero problems with and actually embrace the Hispanic language. Too bad many Americans who speak English can't be understood. But that's another subject.

And many English speakers "speak very loudly / animated especially on the phone." I share an office with a ton of them. So does that mean that English is a very loud language?

Therefore we need to yell at them in public and hit them right?

This video needs more context before I can make judgment.

Plus, CNN loves these race-baiting videos and stories for clicks.

So because the Spanish people in your office speak louder than the rest of the people in your office, Spanish is a loud language? Maybe they are just loud in general.

Spanish is not a tonal language like several Asian languages are.

And what is the Hispanic language- isn't it just called Spanish?

I grew up around Spanish speakers- most of my family speak Spanish and plenty of my neighbors spoke Spanish. I heard loud conversations as well as normal volume level conversations- just as I did when I was around English speaking people.

That is true. For example we lived across the street from a grocery store who after 7PM only had Muslims on their staff. After seven you can not buy beer, soda, pet food, pork & ham, bed bug spray and cigars ( but cigarettes was OK ) and unless you are with child you can not buy candy either as it's reserved for the "little ones". Most of the general public was respectful but I imagine they had their share of people who complain about it. I don't know if the store still has this policy but I have yet to see a video that was recorded at that store.
