Best Answer

Ethnic tensions refers to conflicts of interest among various ethnic groups within a society. Thus as example, if a large city has a police force that is dominated by a specific ethnic group, this can create tensions between the police force and poor minority groups in their relationships with each other. The dominate ethnic group will in some cases try to take advantage of the fact that they have police powers over a smaller ethnic group with problems such as poverty. Tensions between the "haves & have nots" become "ethnic tensions".
