Do you use emojis that correspond to your skin color?
A lot of office communication in my hybrid workplace happens on Slack channels. Emojis are frequently used to react to informational posts, etc - smiley faces, thumbs up, the "praying hands" emoji, etc. I have noticed that some of my colleagues use the skin color options to match their own skin -- both white co-workers and people of color alike. And some still use the classic, Simpsons-esque yellow emojis.
I count myself in the latter group -- it felt a little conspicuous and virtue-signally to me to switch (I'm white), though I honestly now wonder if I get judged for this.

OP, I'm far to lazy to choose a colour.

I am not a teenage girl, ergo I don’t use emojis.

No, I choose the default bright yellow ones. (On the occasions I have to, like zoom.) Not much of an emoji person.

I use the default ones. if I'm doing anything personalized, it's that bitmoji shit. But that's rare.

Are there rainbow emojis?

I always find it weird when a white guy uses the brown emojis. Like, we know you're white, you're right in front of us.

I use the stock yellow ones. It seems weird to specify white, who cares.

I'm too old to use emojis.

Why was the original emoji color yellow?

Real men don't use emojis, only women, gay nelly men, and those who are mental.
