Etiquette varies widely -- what's considered rude in one culture or country is considered normal in another. Unless they've traveled broadly, and actually paid attention, most people are unaware of how much of this they take for granted. They assume that what they're used to is polite and any difference is rude.
So your average middle class Middle American takes a vacation to France. Chances are that person speaks at a louder level than those who live there. Chances are even higher that that person doesn't know the little pieces of etiquette that are expected in French shops and cafes. So the French think the American is loud and impolite and the American thinks that the French service is lousy. At the core, it's really just a matter of different norms.
Now imagine being asked constantly why you're speaking so loudly.....

This question presupposes that the cultural norms of any group are regarded as "rude" by others' mores. People from different ethnicities and geographic origin have varying lifestyles, habits, and mannerisms. Some of these practices may offend your sensibilities, but remember, they are just different. If appropriate, you may calmly mention that given situational context their actions may be perceived as rude by others. Mention how and why you feel offended. While they may not agree with your opinion, most of us seek to be courteous and therefore they may honor your request. If the person continues to engage in a behavior that offends you, remember the importance of perspective and view this as a rich insight into another culture.

Why do you question specific ethnic groups about thier rudeness?
-- They may find it offensive -- like you're questioning the morallity of their race and if you are then maybe try and limit it to a person by person basis.

Good question.
I asked that to a very, very rude Chinese couple in the airport and they got pissed at me.
I've had the most "rudeness" problems from the Oriental group.

People don't like to be wrong. They usually only want to be right.
