In 1991 the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights embarked upon a long term investigation into the factors contributing to increased racial and ethnic tensions throughout the U.S. This report covers: hate incidents; changing demographics; multiculturism; socioeconomic factors; and civil rights. Five key themes emerged as primary causes of persistent, and in some cases, increased racial and ethnic tensions: crisis in leadership; media portrayals of existing tensions; deficiencies in the educational system; disparities in the criminal justice system; and growing economic inequality.
