Ali Murphy-Oates took to social media in hopes of finding the man

A Tinder user, 34, 'super liked' her profile before sending her a message

A woman who identifies as an Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander was racially abused on the dating app Tinder.

Ali Murphy-Oates was in Sydenham, in Sydney's inner west, when a 34-year-old Tinder user 'super liked' her profile on Thursday.

It wasn't long before she received a message: 'Is it true that abos have two sized nostrils – one for unleaded and one for leaded?'

The 'Super like' option on the dating application allows users to give a special someone a bigger dose of flattery, but this was not the man's intention.

Ms Murphy-Oates, who works as an Aboriginal project manager, took to social media in hopes of finding the culprit.

'When you identify in you profile, this is the s*** you get. Dumb a*** even 'super liked' me. Turns out being racist is a costly affair. #tindernightmares,' she wrote on Instagram.

Ms Oates also took to Twitter and Facebook to share the message.

'Hey Twitter, do you know this man? He we [sic] SUPER nice on Tinder and I'd like to repay the favour!' she posted online.

Ms Murphy-Oates has since been applauded by social media users for ousting the Tinder user.

'This is appalling. I'm disgusted and sorry that this horrible degrading racism exists,' Sally said.

'That is utterly appalling. Sorry you had to endure such idiocy,' Kellie said.

Ms Murphy-Oates has since alerted the incident to Tinder.
