There were no race riots or other violent civil unrest during the entire Carter (1977-1981) or Reagan (1981-1989) administrations. The L.A. riots in 1992 following the acquittal of the cops who beat on Rodney King were the first incidents in 20 years. Foreign outsourcing was almost nonexistent under Reagan, but exploded under Clinton with NAFTA (1994) and the renewal by Clinton of the temporary Most Favored Nation trading status granted to China (1994 & 1998) by Bush Sr. in 1990.

Do you know the federal government purposefully avoids calling riots riots? Seriously, look at the legal definition. Places like Detroit and Chicago continued to experience civil unrest but the feds arbitrarily decided that these aren't riots regardless of how violent things turn or how much property damage is done.
Are you not familiar with the policies of Nixon and Kissinger concerning foreign trade? Outsourcing as we now know it became popular politically during this era but we don't really start to see the folly of these policies till the 80s. NAFTA was just salt in the wound.
