In India, there exist communities of people who have never seen a person who isn't brown.

When a white person goes to those communities, do you know how they react? The children hide behind their parents, and the parents move towards their living spaces.

Whereas when I visited those communities, there was no such reaction

That’s not racial tension. That’s a natural feat of something unknown

It's a basal sense of "us vs. them," a herd mentality, if you will

A fear of something that looks exactly as you do, minus skin color?

That's exactly what racial tension is

Because there's no other differentiating factor between the two

That's what I've been trying to say, but sadly, my English skills were being used up by this paper I'm working on

That’s natural. But not really racial tension.

If we were being honest, that's what racial tension actually is. And that's exactly what the media has managed to spin up into such a big thing.

It took a base instinct, a natural wariness, and turned it into a big thing

Racism definition

prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

That's racism, not racial tension. While similar, the two aren't the same

One is active, one is passive

Is it still your premise that people are motivated because they think they can get away with it? Or is it that they are guilty of feeding fake propaganda themselves?

Both.

People think they can get away with stuff because of society's views on things. Society's views are informed by the media.

(I thought that the second part was implied, but apparently not)

Can you define "Racial Tension" how you understand it, gohan?

@gohan Don’t you get it? It’s these false attacks that are feeding this racial tension you speak of. Are you ok with this?

Feelings of wariness or fear caused by the sole fact that one's race is different from another's, caused by an underlying, basal fear of the unknown.

Also, it doesn't matter if I'm okay with it or not. It'll continue.
