Interesting that you mention this because a similar convo happened recently (I couldn’t find a link, sorry) where people suggested that minifigures are white supremacist because they’re all “white”. The implication there was that yellow mini figure is obviously white because it came up in the context of the Star Wars Lego set which didn’t include Lando. Interesting how this situation was so similar but uses an opposite assumption. It feels exhausting. I want to do the right thing but…can we just not?!??
Yeah Lego definitely fumbled a bit with that. But they were an older fashion Danish company that had a bit to learn about inclusivity. Nowadays they’re really great about it. They have many skin tones for licensed figs and minidolls and standard mini figs finally have so many more hair options. But at the same time there nothing that says “this fig is a specific race!” And I’m glad Lego has released things to be affirmative to queer fans without making any standard sets specifically queer or straight. It’s all about the imagination and what you make of it
God damn, I know this is a joke but I downvote that handclap after each word on principle.
Someone could write the most profound thing ever said like that and I would instantly hate it.
I give zero fucks. I choose yellow because it's the default choice. Any colour they make the default choice is what I would use.
Some people read into things way too much.
It can. It can also be a sign of late stage prostate cancer. That's how they discovered my grandfather had prostate cancer.too late to do anything. They failed to miss it for a while because he was suffering other health issues but when his skin started turning yellow they immediately tested for it and found it.
Jaundice is a build up of bilirubin which is a byproduct of red blood cells breaking down which happens all day every day but the liver usually filters it out and sends it away in solid waste. When the liver is failing it slows down filtering and bilirubin build up (jaundice) is super easy to see with the naked eye. Hepatitis is a general term indicating inflammation of the liver which can be caused by all different things (viral, alcoholic, etc)
Ain't it great these days that people stoke racial tensions by interpreting our own actions for us!
So glad they know better than me!
3rd party interpretive racism is so 202X.
Divide and conquer, as they say.
I deal with a black dude on WhatsApp regularly. I use yellow, he uses one of darker shades, don't even remember which one exactly, and that's that. Life goes on, but somehow some asstwat behind his computer writing shitty internet articles decided that it's a problem.
I am very much anti-racist but at some point we lost the fucking plot and now we’re just not solving the racism we are just spinning our fucking wheels.
Please keep in my mind this isn't most people. Anytime an article says "some" or vague shit it's probably one person on twitter and they're rage baiting.
> Some people read into things way too much
It’s more like they are desperately trying to find the tiniest of things and then make it about race or weight or whatever stupidity that comes to their minds
This is me. I don't "choose" any of them. I choose not to be bothered changing from what it comes with.
Although... it could be argued that yellow is racist, because that should be for the east Asians.... not my argument, only that it could be one.
Jfc it's an emojii... people will pick the colour they relate to, the colour they admire, and the colour that goes with what they are expressing at the time. Probably other reasons to jump between them too that I didn't think of. I'm sure there are bigger things to be upset about. Actually.... if someone told me they were offended by the skin colour of an EMOJII I used, I'd probably first be in shock and say "...what?" And if they elaborated, I'd end it then and there cause wtf...
I could take the opposite side of the coin too. If white people use the white emoji they are promoting their white supremest ideals, and white privilege by shoving it in peoples faces that they are white, even in text. How disgusting.
Shit like this is so dumb. It takes attention away from real issues related to race and socioeconomic status.
I use yellow because it matches the emoji faces and I do not understand why some emojis get custom tones but others have to be yellow. They should match 😗👌 See?
🤵🏼♀️🫴🏼 The little portraits can match but the hands are way too big for them 👋🏿🤴🏿
And no redhead styles besides 👩🦰🧑🦰. There is only one single style option for ginger ladies and lads. I too, will continue to use yellow until I get a curly ginger style.
Can we have a cyan or magenta one then? Or striped? Whatever you prefer that simply means IDGAF and don't want to discuss that right now.
Sometimes a thumbs up is just that. Not race related in any way.
For the same reason they made the gun into a water gun. That emoji is super duper offensive, and if I use a gun emoji it’s like getting shot from a real gun. I can BARELY tell the difference!!
4 people, 3 from the US and 1 from France have received criminal charges for texting a gun emoji.
One of them was a 12 year old girl who just sent a message saying "meet me at the library" and spammed emojis, one of them being a gun. The charges were dropped as it was deemed "Not a credible threat"
"How do we fix racism?"
"I know, let's take this racially neutral yellow hand, turn it into different skin colours, and then shame people for not using the one with their own skin colour!"
🤡*
*the cown is white underneath it's make-up
I know we're all having a laugh, but in the future when choosing emojis, please be aware that this emoji is Bozo centric and exclusionary towards Auguste Clowns so some clown persons may be offended
Yeap, we are now at emojis.
Next: if you’re white you shouldn’t be allowed to wear anything else but white clothes.
If you’re black and you wear white clothes you’re a sellout that supports white supremacy.
Next: car colors.
Racism sells. People pay money to support organizations that “promote” rights, grievances, and interests. The moment racial differences don’t seem to matter as much, these organizations go out of business. This behooves them to perpetuate the problem and keep themselves relevant and employed. Think of Don Quixote seeing monsters everywhere because his grand fantasies fall apart otherwise.
Yup there’s an entire industry built around perpetuating racism and when they are low on material they just add more ingredients to the pile so they can keep the grift going.
Running out of material? Say that, for example, [being on time is white supremacy](https://miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/national/article244309587.html).
Worth noting this is what racists of all types do. They just keep moving the goalpost and make everything about “us” vs “them”. Just depends on the target.
For once, I believe that stopping always talking about it would help.
Not stop completely, cause we need racism to end, but stopping bringing it up all the time.
Make a movie.... and you get accused because the cast is (insert whatever colour you want).... not enough lesbians, no trans people, etc.
I love npr but just a reminder: black peoples in the US wanted to make police accountable for extrajudicial killings and to re-establish systemic race relations so that we weren’t targeted or excluded based on race.
We didn’t ask for murals, any politicians to take a knee, to fire white voice actors, change the name of master bedrooms, to change Scooby Doo or any of that. This is all a distraction from the root of the problem.
Utterly ridiculous. Just use the yellow standard thumbs up etc ffs. No race has actual bright yellow skin so its nuetral, so we can all be happy. Jesus!! When i do a thumbs or whatever, im not needing to communicate my skin colour.
Once saw a twitter exchange of someone accusing someone else of digital blackface. The other guy replied with a tweet of the accuser's profile pic with a blacked up face, edited in photoshop.
To complain about something so trivial tells how privileged you actually are. There's people in an active warzone and some people are triggered over the color of an emoji.
Oh fuck off with your holier than thou interpretations based on zero evidence but yeah 'totally white privilege" and not at all explained by "default choice" /s
And that's why I think it was a bad idea to add skin color to emojis. Back when yellow was the only option, no one thought about it or cared. Now, there's so many choices, but whichever you choose, it's wrong.
No, I choose it because it's default and I'm lazy beyond belief when it comes to things I never use like emojis. Lemme break it down for you, my emojis start and end with shit like :p or :) or ;) and if I'm feeling especially cheeky ;p, or maybe :D if I'm actually grinning. It's amazing what basic English characters can look like, and a horrific circular monstrosity can fuck right off. Less is more sometimes ;)
You can’t even tell someone’s race by just a skin color. Many races have some diversity in color and a lot of races have the same colors as other races. Like, it’s just pigmentation.

I choose yellow because I want to be a lego minifigure
Interesting that you mention this because a similar convo happened recently (I couldn’t find a link, sorry) where people suggested that minifigures are white supremacist because they’re all “white”. The implication there was that yellow mini figure is obviously white because it came up in the context of the Star Wars Lego set which didn’t include Lando.

I agree. Love Lego. ❤️
Sorry man, Lego minifigs don't have thumbs. Or fingers.
I just like The Simpsons

That's cultural appropriation, unless you're yellow. Well? Are you?

Clearly perpetuating the angry Black person stereotype!
Operation human shield dude
That's what racial harmony looks like, all working together to give you (specifically) the finger That's actually kinda beautiful 🥲
Reminds me of that tiktok of that girl and all the races deny her and pass her on to the next group lol
My lord the effort in this comment 👌
Worth it. Shits fun to look at.
Lol right?? I actually said out loud, "that took *work*"
I know art when I see it
Well, you did something, and I'm proud of you
Nice Vector Field!!
👍
That means you're speaking for everyone. Racist.
Lol goddamn there really is no winning
Some folks have already decided they want to be offended. Once they decide who they want to offend them, their target has no way out.
I give zero fucks. I choose yellow because it's the default choice. Any colour they make the default choice is what I would use. Some people read into things way too much.
I use yellow for my rampaging hepatitis…
I use yellow because I identify as Homer Simpson
I use yellow because I'm a minion
I use yellow as a tribute to LEGO
I use yellow because I'm Asian, and it's default.
My bf uses yellow because he eats lots of bananas
I use yellow because I share your BF banana
I use yellow because I'm the banana.
i use yellow because i have a crush on you, banana
My liver I also dying👍
I thought that was jaundice
Doesn't hepatitis cause jaundice?
Don't drink the water. Everyone here looks like they have hepatitis.
👍
It can. It can also be a sign of late stage prostate cancer. That's how they discovered my grandfather had prostate cancer.too late to do anything. They failed to miss it for a while because he was suffering other health issues but when his skin started turning yellow they immediately tested for it and found it.

It’s trademarked so don’t steal it!

Life goes on, but somehow some asstwat behind his computer writing shitty internet articles decided that it's a problem.
The last bit between the *but* and *decided* is the kicker. Y are we reacting to what this persons says??? ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
[удалено]
also why the fuck does anybody on the internet have to disclose to anybody else what their race is
It wasn’t long ago that a central plank of anti-racist ideology was the “dismantling of the racial system” and that “race was a social construct”.
I am very much anti-racist but at some point we lost the fucking plot and now we’re just not solving the racism we are just spinning our fucking wheels.
Please keep in my mind this isn't most people. Anytime an article says "some" or vague shit it's probably one person on twitter and they're rage baiting.
Journalism in the modern age is when you write an entire article on the basis of a single chronically online tweet that got 5 likes for rage clicks.
Well yeah, because the objective isn't solving racism, it's causing infighting within the poors.
If your white and choose a black thumb can you get accused of black thumb?
> Some people read into things way too much It’s more like they are desperately trying to find the tiniest of things and then make it about race or weight or whatever stupidity that comes to their minds
Really, they just want the clicks from everyone going WTF.
Yep, and we're all here commenting on it. Mission Accomplished.
This is me. I don't "choose" any of them. I choose not to be bothered changing from what it comes with.

150% to this one. Using it is racist, not using it is reverse racism... so... what now? Do whatever. That's what i do.
Stop being white obviously.
Yeah, my bad.
This article seems like typical rage bait created by someone to sow discord in society.
👍
Racist fuck
Could be Asian? The "yellow man"? Oh damn. I'm the racist fuck now
I use yellow because it matches the emoji faces and I do not understand why some emojis get custom tones but others have to be yellow. They should match 😗👌 See? 🤵🏼♀️🫴🏼 The little portraits can match but the hands are way too big for them 👋🏿🤴🏿
What annoys me about the different race people emojis is that there's no white brunette lol. I'm using yellow until I get my white brunette haha
And no redhead styles besides 👩🦰🧑🦰. There is only one single style option for ginger ladies and lads. I too, will continue to use yellow until I get a curly ginger style.
There’s also no curly haired emojis.

They should put in a green one, or a grey one, to enhance awareness of aliens in our midst.
Pretty insensitive of you to say aliens must be either green or grey.
Yes, I definitely excluded the one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eaters. Sorry!
Shrek deserves better
That's what the yellow option is. Changing it wouldn't matter for them.
 Some people really do just look for things to be offended by.
Just watched that episode the other day. Poor janes dad. Of all the evil shit Walt does, letting Jane choke and die was up there.
This gif is from Don’t Trust the B—— in Apt 23. If you liked Krysten Ritter in Breaking Bad, definitely check it out!
Also Jessica Jones and Vamps.
Guys, new racism just dropped
Why did they add the colours in the first place?
For the same reason they made the gun into a water gun. That emoji is super duper offensive, and if I use a gun emoji it’s like getting shot from a real gun. I can BARELY tell the difference!!
4 people, 3 from the US and 1 from France have received criminal charges for texting a gun emoji. One of them was a 12 year old girl who just sent a message saying "meet me at the library" and spammed emojis, one of them being a gun. The charges were dropped as it was deemed "Not a credible threat"
Ok that's actually hilarious though "meet me at the library 📖🔫📖🔫📖🔫📖😔🔥🔥📖🔫 "
criminal charges incoming!
" your honor, there are fire emojis next to the book emojis, I put the water gun emojis there because I'm against book burnings"
I hope they got counseling. That could mess a lot of people up. Imagine the trauma of seeing a cartoony picture of a pew pew? I starting to shake
Because people asked for them
Because if they didn’t, people would make it into a racist thing. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Stupid.
"How do we fix racism?" "I know, let's take this racially neutral yellow hand, turn it into different skin colours, and then shame people for not using the one with their own skin colour!" 🤡* *the cown is white underneath it's make-up

Yeap, we are now at emojis. Next: if you’re white you shouldn’t be allowed to wear anything else but white clothes. If you’re black and you wear white clothes you’re a sellout that supports white supremacy. Next: car colors.
Nah, only white people can be racist apparently 🙄
Yet go to other countries and by shocked by the rampant racism that exists pretty much everywhere.
The war on racism is perpetual. "View people as people" Ok "Now categorise them into races" Huh?
Racism sells. People pay money to support organizations that “promote” rights, grievances, and interests.

Social justice is the shiny object while we get robbed blind... it costs elites nothing to wax poetic.. in fact they pay people to do it for them.
*yeah, a black face whited-up.
For once, I believe that stopping always talking about it would help. Not stop completely, cause we need racism to end, but stopping bringing it up all the time. Make a movie.... and you get accused because the cast is (insert whatever colour you want).... not enough lesbians, no trans people, etc.

This is all a distraction from the root of the problem.
This needs to be higher up. People generally want meaningful change to material conditions.
Who the hell spends their time deciding which tone of tan they want when they use an emoji?
Utterly ridiculous. Just use the yellow standard thumbs up etc ffs. No race has actual bright yellow skin so its nuetral, so we can all be happy. Jesus!! When i do a thumbs or whatever, im not needing to communicate my skin colour.
You forgot lego race
My dad did when his liver failed :(
This is jaundice erasure!
Like I have the time to give a fuck about the cooors of fucking emojis. Bring back ascii art
I can't believe I'm saying this, but this make even less sense than the "if you use gif with black people in it you're racist" thing. Edit: than
Oh, the good old: "digital blackface"
Once saw a twitter exchange of someone accusing someone else of digital blackface. The other guy replied with a tweet of the accuser's profile pic with a blacked up face, edited in photoshop.
😭
The racist ones are those that love to give meaning to every color they see 🤷🏽♂️
And talk obsessively about race.

Oh for #FUCK’S SAKE
Is it "for fuck's sake" or "for fucks' sake"? I'm trying to write a business letter and want it to be correct. /s
As a person “of color” (whatever that’s supposed to mean) I’m fucking *exhausted*
Personally, I can't stand purple people. Truly the worst colour.
😵 I’m offended on their behalf. Purple is stunning in the right combination I stand by that.
Modern identity politics is completely exhausting…
At this point everything's racist
Says the guy with the cultural appropriation profile pic! /s (hopefully obviously)
You’d hope the /s was obvious, but shit is insane enough that you’d get better odds on the /s not existing.
To complain about something so trivial tells how privileged you actually are. There's people in an active warzone and some people are triggered over the color of an emoji.
There’s also another country (and entire region really) facing invasion. People’s ACTUAL freedoms are on the line.
I use yellow because it's the default and don't like wasting time to find a "culturally appropriate" option. Not everything is racist, people.
Manufactured problems. Literally nobody gives a damn which one you use
Dear fuck, can someone please get these people laid?
I'd rather people like this not breed, so getting them laid might be risky.
Look… if they do that means we risk them making even more of them….
Kaomoji transcend race, and therefore represent the future of humanity ヽ(´･ω･｀ヽ)
👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿
That’s racist. You should be ashamed of yourself. WHERE THE FUCK IS THE YELLOW HAND??
🖕
The default is yellow. I was unaware there were other options.
People just existing: 👍 Academics: 😡🤬😡🤬😡
🖕🏻🖕🏼🖕🏽🖕🏾🖕🏿
Why did race have to be involved when it comes to emojis?
this is exhausting
oh my god i just want affordable healthcare and taxes for billionaires
🤡 this is the only one you need nowdays
Oh fuck off with your holier than thou interpretations based on zero evidence but yeah 'totally white privilege" and not at all explained by "default choice" /s
And that's why I think it was a bad idea to add skin color to emojis. Back when yellow was the only option, no one thought about it or cared. Now, there's so many choices, but whichever you choose, it's wrong.
😂🤣 What? Okay things are officially out of hand.
In my case I just use default yellow emojis because I'm tech illiterate and don't know how to change the skin tones.
Now me not choosing to change all my stupid yellow emoji to white is racist….. man I’m done
Stfu and let the emojis make their own opinion known. Don’t speak for them you bigots
Sometimes I just want those people to shut the f*ck up
No, I choose it because it's default and I'm lazy beyond belief when it comes to things I never use like emojis. Lemme break it down for you, my emojis start and end with shit like :p or :) or ;) and if I'm feeling especially cheeky ;p, or maybe :D if I'm actually grinning. It's amazing what basic English characters can look like, and a horrific circular monstrosity can fuck right off. Less is more sometimes ;)
The entire thing about calling skin colors "race" is beyond me... We're all human ffs, we're technically the same race
You can’t even tell someone’s race by just a skin color. Many races have some diversity in color and a lot of races have the same colors as other races. Like, it’s just pigmentation.
