polarization in racial and ethnic relations
Polarization in racial and ethnic relations refers to the division and antagonism between different racial and ethnic groups, leading to a heightened sense of conflict, distrust, and division within society. This occurs when individuals and communities align themselves strongly with their own racial or ethnic identity, while often holding negative stereotypes or prejudices towards others, resulting in increased social tension and barriers to cooperation and understanding.
