I’m not race-baiting, I’m legit curious. I usually change the skin tone to what closely resembles my own. If, for example, I’m sending someone a thumbs up, I’ll send 👍🏼 instead of 👍. I have some friends who always stick to the yellow emojis. Makes me wonder if I’m being non-woke by making a distinction.
Any thoughts?

Are there any white male celebrities for whom a yellow emoji would be appropriate?

Don’t overthink it

The yellow hand looks like a dish glove, so I use my skin tone when I give a thumbs up. That's the only time I select a skin tone.

Get a life, OP.

R2, you are a gem.

Yes, you are race-baiting, OP. If you are not, you don't need to be defensive from the beginning.
| by 🤷🏼♂️ | reply 7 | 02/23/2021 |
No. It chooses me.

OP: non-woke? Yea, your aren't race-baiting for sure!!

I’m white. I have an Asian boyfriend. I have black friends. I always select the right skin tone when I text with them. I think it’s more fun like this.

I do on Zoom (for the clapping hand.)

I hate it when white people use the brown-skinned emoji. My partner knows a guy who does that and it just seems so contrived.

R12, perhaps he tans well?

I don’t need emojis to over-share my feelings so I’ve decided it’s a fad. Plus, I thought the brown hands implied something other than ethnicity.

They don't make an emoji pale enough for me -unless you count the ghosts. I just use whatever the default is. I wouldn't want people to think I spent time thinking about the color of my emoji...
| by 🤷🏼♂️ | reply 15 | 02/23/2021 |
Yellow.
| by 🤷🏼♂️ | reply 16 | 02/23/2021 |
I stick with the yellow (default).
Safer that way.
| by 🤷🏼♂️ | reply 17 | 02/23/2021 |
Op so you are white, brown or yellow? I know thats not a black emoji, or is it?

Yes indeed, we too use "cookies." Don't you just LOVE clicking on these things on every single site you visit? I know we do! You can thank the EU parliament for making everyone in the world click on these pointless things while changing absolutely nothing. If you are interested you can take a look at our privacy/terms or if you just want to see the damn site without all this bureaucratic nonsense, click ACCEPT and we'll set a dreaded cookie to make it go away. Otherwise, you'll just have to find some other site for your pointless bitchery needs.
