A race riot is any riot which occurs due to animosity or tensions between or among members of different races. Historically, race riots have been instigated by members of a more powerful racial group against those of a subordinate one. Riots also can be sparked by an isolated incident, particularly if it is perceived to be one of a serise of abuses or injustices that have occurred over time without redress.
