A new free mobile game, called "Everyday Racism" has been developed for iOS and Android that lets the user experience how it feels to be an Indian student living in Australia, or a Muslim woman, or an Aboriginal man.

The alternate-reality game developed by "All Together Now" is based on microaggressions, which continue to perpetuate harmful attitudes that marginalize minorities, Cnet reports.

"All Together Now" is a collaboration between the University of Western Sydney, Deakin University, and Melbourne University.

"Microaggressions" is the process of accumulation of smaller, subtler interactions that can make one feel as if he is fighting a losing battle.

When the user loads the app for the first time on his mobile, he is asked to choose one of three characters, each of whom was created based on real-life experiences.

The user experiences four scenarios randomly spaced out every day for seven days based on the character he chose, including radio broadcasts, work e-mails, social-network interactions, text messages, and videos.


:'( So what happens in this video game you are a mud walking down the street and people yell epiphets like "mud!", Coon" , "Sand nigger" or "Curry muncher!" ?Then you say back . "I think Australians are all racist people!"

The coon goes around asking people for ciggies and money , the Aussies says "piss off, go get your own" .. the abbo says "eh! white dawg! you owe me stuff!"

The tradesman goes to the Indians house and the Indian tries cunning tricks to haggle to get the bill down. The tradesman says "No the price is the price!, this is the only job I have! I am a business not a charity!, what makes you think you have a constant sense of entitlement when you come here you brown clowns?"

The Indians says "Why don't Aussies like me?"
