Awkward.

To celebrate April 20, the stoner’s holiday also known as 4/20, Snapchat has introduced one of those funny little face filters to turn you into Bob Marley. Except, hello – that’s blackface.

As Complex reports, there’s no official announcement to explain the appearance of the Marley filter on 4/20, but given that the reggae icon was the world’s most famous weed smoker (and his family just launched a cannabis brand with his name on it), the connection surely can’t be a coincidence.

The new add-on maps your face digitally then superimposes dreadlocks, a rastacap and Marley’s face over it, which as Butterz DJ Elijah pointed out, is just digital blackface.

Other Twitter users chimed in to label the filter “more than a little racist”.

Look, it’s pretty simple. Don’t be this guy:
