Snapchat has been criticised for not being representative on its Eid-al-Fitr story. People said the story only seemed to include people celebrating Eid from Mecca and Dubai.
People expressed their disappointment with Snapchat on Twitter.
I honestly cannot stand that wack ass Eid story snapchat does every yr. No diversity in race or region. Straight propaganda. #BlackOutEid
@AlJannahh right! Apparently Black Muslims are nonexistent 🐸☕️
still don't see any black Muslims on the snapchat eid story ... #blackouteid
watching the Snapchat Ramadan story like....and then y'all wonder why #BlackoutEid was necessary.
Last year the hashtag #BlackOutEidwas used to spread selfies of people celebrating Eid. The hashtag was started by @krennylavitz, who told BuzzFeed last year she “wanted to see how other Black Muslims celebrated Eid”. This year it's being used to remind Snapchat that black Muslims exist.
Yet again, not one black Muslim on the Eid story on @snapchat 🤔 This is why we need #blackouteid
Soon the fiery selfies started rolling in. 🔥
blessings on blessings ✨ #EidMubarak #blackouteid
