👋🏿 Is using the black skin version of emojis considered digital blackface? 🤵🏿

That's cultural appropriation and literal rape!

🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿

"Digital blackface" is stupid. It's just another tactic that the powerful use to divide and conquer society by race, class, and sex. Don't let people push you around, OP. And stay away from people who actually waste their time over this idiotic shit.

I like to use the darker version of the thumbs up emoji because I think it stands out better 👍🏽

my actual skin color is 👍🏻

Don’t do this. It really is obnoxious.

I could swear there used to be a standard emoji with blond hair and blue eyes and it looked like my bf so we used to use it all the time. Then when they introduced the "diverse" emojis, they took it away!

I"m all for different new ones (I'm not white myself) but why did they take away the white euro (blond/blue) one?? That's fucked up

That font is racist!

Who honestly has the time to worry about all this stuff? Oh wait...

No, it just means you are a total arsehole. If you have to ask... you know it’s obnoxious, not cute and “unexpected”.

We get it, OP. You're DFA

Nah.

Bye, Felicia.

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄. Jesus. Try harder.

R6 You mean the IOS/WhatsApp yellow skin+yellow hair+yellow/brown eyes Lego emoji? Those still exist.

👧🏿Guuuuuuurl!

If you have to ask someone else if you are racist, you're racist

There, fixed it for you. You should just admit it for what it is.

Shit, I have no idea. I’ve been busy trying to check my privilege since 2014.

Yes but it used to be yellow hair and blue eyes (I think the skin was like "beige" not yellow"). the expression looked like my bf which is why I paid attention (and he has blue eyes)

R20 There has never been an IOS/Whatsapp emoji like that. The default yellow man remains unchanged, the only thing that was added were realistic variations. I believe you are thinking of something else.

I just googled it R21 and there was a blond/blue eyes boy.

Bottom row, 3rd from right (in the link not the preview image)

or just look here:

I find it obnoxious, OP. But do you.

I always thought one would pick the colour that comes closest to ones own skin, so I never went with anything “tan” let alone outright black. Why would I?

They should’ve stuck with blue or yellow ‘skins’.

I wonder if the people who choose colors other than the default orange are, in fact, the racist ones, because they clearly see color.

🖖🏿 Spockeesha

Whew, chile!

R23 I see it, yeah. Clearly this wasn't a case of blond/blue eye erasure or whatever, they just deliberately got rid of all racial emojis (really? a squinting man with a Qing cap? lol) and decided to turn them all into cartoons.

BLOND/BLUE EYED ERASURE!@@#
