Racism Simulator

Racism Simulator

Converts 'white' to 'black' for maximum outrage.

What is Racism Simulator?
'Racism Simulator' is a revolutionary Chrome extension designed to expose hidden prejudices in digital journalism. By swapping target groups on popular online media platforms, it helps individuals visualize the racism, sexism, and unfair nastiness that some sectors of the media get away with under the pretense of targeting 'oppressor' groups. Experience HuffingtonPost, Salon, Buzzfeed, Jezebel, and Gawker from a different perspective that brings into question the ethics and fairness of their content.
