The app is good when it comes to raising awareness, but I have a few suggestions: give more reaction options, and after we choose tell us what would have been the best choice so we know how to react in real life.

Although some of the scenarios are quite racist, most are not. My character must have been VERY sensitive and perceived racism in some cases when there was none. At other times, it seemed he was very quick to label others as racist when there could have been any number of reasons for the way he was treated. He wasn't invited to a party - Racist!!!!! I was thoroughly disappointed with the lack of thought that went into the creation of this wishy-washy app.

I have never been a racist, and am an avid supporter of minorities and ethnic/cultural groups, but this application really gives you an experience of what life is like in the eyes of these characters, and people not only in Australia, but worldwide too. Unfortunately it may never be enough to stop racism.

what a joke

Honestly. This is the most unrealistic depiction of racism ever. I have had MANY people from the backgrounds depicted tell me it's ridiculous. Sorry guys but it's NOT NORMAL for cars to drive an asian and yell out "go back to China" It's also not normal for anyone on the bus to say to their 6yo son "oh don't sit near the Indian guy" It just doesn't happen "everyday" as you insist. A very very inaccurate depiction of racism in Australia. Fail.

It was an overall shallow experience. Minimal choice in reactions (angry reaction, no reaction or the "right" reaction), and the apps response to the wrong reactions were nothing but empty guilt trips. Your choice in reaction meant nothing as there was no rewards or consequences for your choices. Having to wait 24 hours to be able to complete the next day of choices felt unnecessary and drained some interest from the app each time. Your choice in character was also irrelevant as everyday you experienced the same events of being a victim of racism except it simply changed the racial slur being used. I feel making the characters have completely different experiences more related to the discrimination they actually face would have made the app both more interesting and credible. Making the characters experience actually different and relevant would also make the 24 hour wait before you can use the app again more meaningful. However with all that aside, the differentiating formats of the experience was a nice touch and the videos were for the most part well done and well acted. At the end of the day "Everyday Racism" aims to help prevent racism in quite a juvenile and shallow way and does not achieve this purpose whatsoever.
