I know a lot of people in life want to change the color of their skin and their ethnicity. Because, I do too. And now you can! With Faceapp's new update, you can now basically use Black face (don't worry its legal guys), Asian face, White face, and Indian face! Thanks to Faceapp, they are now bringing racism to an end! (Faceapp is an app that allows you to change your picture 

from young to old, smile to frown, etc.)

SIKE! If you thought I was serious, you must be crazy. 

I came across an article on Cosmopolitan.com about this new filter. And of course, there's a lot of people that has a problem with this. In what world is that okay? In what world is it okay to have a filter change you from your real ethnicity to someone else's? This would only cause a problem in society, especially if someone was to use one of the filters with a negative motive behind it. 

Imagine if someone White was to use the black filter and make racist jokes, or vice versa. Or imagine if someone Black was to use the Indian filter and make jokes about Isis. It just brings more problems in our society than we already have! 

At the end of the article on Cosmopolitan.com, there was an update that stated: 

"Update: 8/9, 5:15pm.: In a statement to Cosmopolitan.com, FaceApp's CEO Yaroslav Goncharov confirms the filters "will be removed in the next few hours." 

But, why was it even made in the first place? Who in their right mind would come up with this kind of idea? It's like everyone was sitting in the Faceapp room and they needed a new idea and somebody was like, "Oh! I got it! How about we bring an exciting spin on Black face and make anybody change into any ethnicity!" And then everybody cheered and all the racist people loved it. 

It was ignorant and unnecessary! And its a good thing that it has been removed.
