Snapchat has once again come under fire for how it deals with race.
Users of the app have ????? ????? ??????noticed that many of the face-altering filters "whitewash." Upset Snapchatters point to the flower crown filter and the "beautifying" filter, both of which seem to lighten skin and eyes and contour the face to make one's chin and nose appear smaller.

Other users have recently defended Snapchat over the whitewashing controversy, claiming the filters whiten and brighten all aspects of a photo (similar to a flash) and not only skin. That helps?
Snapchat was previously criticized on 4/20 for its Bob Marley filter, which many users condemned as a blatant use of "digital blackface." Snapchat, though, stood behind its filter, saying it was only meant to give, "people a new way to share their appreciation for Bob Marley and his music."
Snapchat has not yet responded to Mashable'srequest for comment.
