The term "racial tension" refers to a state of unease, conflict or hostility between different racial groups. It can arise from various factors such as historical injustices, economic disparities, competition for resources and job opportunities, cultural differences, and prejudice or discrimination based on race. Racial tensions can manifest in many ways including violence, protests, demonstrations, boycotts, and political activism. The goal of reducing racial tension is to promote understanding, respect, and equality between different races, ultimately leading to a more harmonious and peaceful society.
