Racial tension is animosity or dislike between two (or sometimes more) racial groups. It can be caused by resentment (one group believes the other is being treated better in the society) or by bigotry (some racial groups have been taught to be prejudiced against other races). In America, there has been racial tension between blacks and whites, while in other countries, there have been tensions between the dominant race and minority races: in Japan, there was prejudice against Koreans, and in Latin America, certain indigenous tribes suffered harsh treatment from the ruling (and often light-skinned) majority. Racial tension usually begins with mistrust and stereotypes, but it can also lead to violence. For example, in the American south, racial tension in the early 1900s was often exacerbated by white supremacist groups like the Ku Klux Klan, resulting in race riots and the lynching of black people.

Social movements and dialogues around racial equality continue to play a significant role in addressing these issues.
The activities of white supremacist groups, discriminatory policies, and racial profiling by law enforcement have all contributed to an increase in racial tension.
