Talk:List of ethnic riots

message: Is an ethnic riot (say, Germans on Irish) a race riot?  I don't think so.  What if a riot is anti-Catholic, but the vast majority of Catholics in an area are only Irish? Is that a race riot, or a religious riot?  I would argue it is not racially motivated.  Yet, under the subheading for the United States, there are several riots which are ethnic or religious in nature (not racial). I'd like to see some discussion before removing these, though. - Tim1965 (talk) 15:17, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem is that in the UK and in a lot of other countries terms 'racial' and 'ethnic' used synonymously. What in the USA are usually called 'races' are actually 'ethnic' categories. A lot of riots listed here are anti-national (anti-Chinese, anti-Indian, anti-Greek riots, Mauritania–Senegal war, race riots in Singapore, anti-Somali riots, etc.), ethnic (Roma riots, anti-Semitic riots, Uyghur incidents, Tibetian unrest, Sino-Malay incidents, riots in the Soviet Union, riots in Spain, etc.), or sectarian riots. (anti-Muslim riots, sectarian violence in Pakistan, Maria Hertogh riots, etc.) Also there is not a clear difference between terms 'racial' and 'ethnic' and the term 'race' can mean many different things depending on culture. Its usage is ambiguous, discouraged and controversial, so I will propose a title change to "List of ethnic riots". Ethnicity can mean national origin, ancestry, culture (including religion), and language so it would be suitable term describing the different elements of the list here.

thread_title: Ethnic vs. race

message: Japan is missing from the list, surely the violence against Koreans after the Great Tokyo earthquake should be here. Koreans were blamed for 'poisoning the water' and attacked.

thread_title:  Japan missing 

message: Does it have to be motivated by some kind of specifically 'racial' feeling, or does it just need to involve mostly members of a specific race? Is this really a tenable category? Or have we just inherited a bizarre aggregation that we'd be better off without? groupuscule (talk) 08:39, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Definition of "race riot" ... or "ethnic riot" ...

message: Do the 1969 Stonewall riots belong on this page (List of race riots)? I don't think they can be considered race riots, or "sectarian". Should the name be changed merely to "List of riots"? Or (given the length of the page) the page broken down into multiple pages? The US section alone would be a reasonable page, or maybe race riots, sectarian riots, and maybe a third catagory (other?) fro the Stonewall riots.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rar74B (talk • contribs) 15:07, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Stonewall riots were about ongoing police brutality directed against drag queens and sexual minorities. They're notable, but they're not a race riot. 66.102.83.61 (talk) 04:05, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Stonewall riots, Break Up Page? 

message: Ok, this is silly. It appears as if a large number of the riots listed for the UK do not really deserve to be described as race riots. I've got rid of 1 (and 2 others that do not appear sufficiently notable). Probably I will need to get rid of more unless reliable sources can be provided on the relevant articles showing that they were race riots. --94.195.129.125 (talk) 14:22, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  UK 

message: Should the Tottenham riots not be on here? I know technically speaking they're not classified as race riots, but it was predominantly black people rioting as the result of a black person getting shot by police.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.25.53.99 (talk) 15:41, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: No, the London riots in general had a higher correlation with poverty than race. There was no 'racial tension' factor and there were no ethnic groups fighting each other. They were a combination of anti-police and anti-authority rioting that were then piggybacked in a few places by opportunistic looters.
