The Burger King Race Riot refers to a series of riots that took place in the late 80s and early 90s at fast-food restaurants in New York City, primarily in the Crown Heights neighborhood. During these incidents, groups of African American customers were physically attacked by other customers, often of Caribbean or West Indian descent. These violent outbursts were a response to longstanding tensions between the two communities over perceived injustices and cultural differences.
