Why is it important?

Racism is a poison that have infiltered our nation since long ago, it discriminates against people based on their ethnicity, skin color, gender and religion following the false belief that those with differences are inferior to others. Thus, creating a roadblock to most in their professional and personal life: they are less likely to be selected for jobs, leading to difficult access to health care and a lower standard of living.

Lately the problem has become more severe and drastic as racism in The United States become more apparent and transparent to include violence and cases of murder beginning by the killing of George Floyd that triggered a series of protests leading to police brutality. Furthermore, a different skin color is not the only reason behind this discrimination as for many years some minorities have suffered from the religious stigma.

Data has found that some of the problem resides in the lack of understanding of the true nature of racism as many don’t realize that they are being racist and offending the other and this is where the app intervenes as it points out the user’s traits that could be perceived as discriminatory and working to change this by direct communication between users of opposing views.
