Everyday Racism

About this app

Challenge the way you think about racism and look at life through someone else’s eyes. Take the Everyday Racism challenge and experience what life can be like for ethnic and cultural minorities in Australia who face subtle forms of racism every day.

Everyday Racism is an immersive game played out over seven days, giving you an insight into the racial issues many face in Australia. Choose from one of three characters: a Muslim woman, an indigenous man or an Indian student, and for the next seven days you’ll receive simulated texts, tweets, images and videos as though you were them.

How will you respond? How will it make you feel? Can you handle it?

The game also gives you the opportunity to play as yourself, where you’ll witness incidents of racism and their effect on people around you.

The game has been produced by All Together Now in association with the University of Western Sydney, The University of Melbourne and Deakin University.

All Together Now is an independent Australian not-for-profit organisation. We aim to prevent racism by promoting racial equity through education.

Ratings and reviews

Because there are so many apps about well-being and self improvement, I thought there might be something out there regarding racism and how to sensitize oneself to other peoples' experiences. This is the *only* thing out there. Though it can't really convey the real experience, especially long term, it does a good job--particularly the videos--of educating through simulation. For that reason, it should be applauded. It would be nice to have a tool to identify/change one's own limiting attitudes.

There's a difference between having a sense of humor and being a bigot. This app uses extreme cases of bigotry not your day to day interactions at work. This app is absurd.

I think it is a good app to look at things differently, funny how racists/closeted racists dont think these things happen, I do not know what it is like to be muslim or arab but is very familiar as a POC myself and it gives me a better understanding on how other POC are treated.
