Racial tensions refer to conflicts or disagreements between different racial or ethnic groups, often stemming from historical discrimination or stereotyping.

Addressing and reducing racial tensions typically involve promoting understanding, empathy, and equal opportunities for all individuals.

The riots were sparked by postwar tensions of racism, unemployment, inflation, and violence by radical political groups. (Sourced from Wikipedia, available at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Summer_of_1919)
