    Black people suck their teeth when they're upset at the same rate and for the same reasons as other people.

    I've seen Indian and white people do this too. I think it's a regional thing, lots of it in London.

    I have no great experience of black people being upset, but certainly some white people in my part of Britain do make a sharp intake of breath when upset.
