Black People Call and Text Much more Than Everyone Else [Data]

Consistent with a new year-long study by The Nielsen Company, black people use more voice minutes and send more text messages than any other race. Like, far more.

The brand new study found that African-Americans averaged 1,300 voice minutes a month, far outpacing Hispanics (826 minutes/mo.), Asians and Pacific Islanders (692 m/mo.), and Whites (647 m/mo.).

Same story with texting. Blacks sent and received a normal of 780 text messages a month; Hispanics 767; Whites 566; and Asians/Pacific Islanders 384 texts a month.

Presumably all of this could be very useful inside the burgeoning field of Black Twitter scholarship.

The Nielsen study also found that girls, on average, talk on their phones 22% more than men, and send a typical of 601 texts a month, rather than 447 for men. 0% of those women, incidentally, are texting or calling me. [ Nielsen ]
