To me a riot is anti-establishment thing. The Toxteth riot in 1981 was one - 100% anti police. Nothing racial in it, as most of the rioters were white.
The 1972 "riot" was racial between mainly ethnic groups - against a housing policy if anything.
The late 1950/early 60s Berkley St riots were pure racial. Just anti black, and the blacks anti white.
