I spend way too much time thinking about the skin color in the emoji that I use

I understand why they added skin tones but I kinda wish we could’ve just all aligned around the yellow ones and called it a day

i built something at microsoft that used red and green smiley faces. 

it was only an internal tool, but hr told me that it wouldn't be ok to ship because it might be racially insensitive. 

they said, without flinching, that i should go back to the yellow smiley faces.

My wife says I use one shade of brown too dark for what I really am, she’s racist

Come on V, wouldn’t want to offend all of the red and green people out there

Green and red people would felt seen imho

Would have expected them to say color blindness issues lol

that was ages ago. quite progressive of them.

Did you point out it might be offensive to the residents of Springfield?

Sometimes ideas are realistic idealist that's what happened

Simpsons made yellow mainstream, that's why.

On behalf of all asian people I am offended (I’m not asian).
