community relations

community relations
   social tension between those of a different racial background
   The use seeks to avoid reference to colour and can be found in various phrases relating to problems which may occur through the distrust, ignorance, jealousy, fear, or other factors which may be present when those of different racial backgrounds move into territory formerly occupied mainly by another ethnic grouping. Thus a community affairs officer is concerned to prevent, and a community relations correspondent to report on, discord between such groups, not to arrange or write about church fêtes and the like.
