"PS.  The car radio blasting is not exclusively a "n-word thing" - I
see
the "white trash" doing that a lot too.  I see it mainly as the case
of
typical "US boorishness and arrogance" - since one does not see much
of
that behavior outside the US (e.g. in Europe or in Africa)."

Sorry to burst your bubble on this one, but you do get this phenomenon
in South Africa. Big time. But I'm not sure that it's aggression. It's
more like putting shiny mag wheels on your car or revving the engine of
your bike to attract attention, kind of like "Look at me I'm here".
