Ooh... this relates to a thought I've been having recently with regard to specifically gangsta rap blaring from cars. I actually don't have quite objections to this genre that most of my friends have. But. I'm a bicyclist, and am relatively used to having people yell angry stuff at me from car windows. It always buts me on edge. More than once I've been passed by a car playing angry music and momentarily thought I was once again under verbal attack.
I wonder about whether other minorities (gays, ethnic minorities, etc.) who are used to hearing slurs might respond to angry-sounding music in this context. Do they have the same momentary misunderstanding?
