Everyday Racsim characters (left to right): Pat, Aisha and Vihaan
Anti-racism initiative All Together Now have launched an app that simulates racism and situations for the player. The player can choose to live the every day life of different characters – an Aboriginal man, a Muslim woman and an Indian international student. The app shows different situations where racism occurs through emails, social media posts, text messages, video and audio. The player can choose various different ways to respond.
The characters were developed by advisory groups. We speak to Mridula Amin, a Sydney-based student of Bangla descent, who helped create the Indian student, Vihaan, using her own experiences with racism.
