Race Riot

*** Shopping-Tip: Race Riot
A '''race riot''' or '''racial riot''' is an outbreak of violent civil unrest in which race is a key factor. Such riots often reflect anger among racial minority groups that are regarded as socio-economically deprived, and often such anger is directed at law enforcement agencies who are perceived to unfairly target these racial groups. Racial profiling, police brutality, institutional racism, urban renewal, and racial identity politics are often cited as causes of these riots, although many have argued that these riots tend not to follow any sort of political logic but rather represent spontaneous violent outbursts. However, political changes in a country's national or local levels of government directed towards a certain race may contribute to this type of riot.
