Apparently, we need some new emojis for this board. The yellow ones are okay for some I guess, but might offend yellow people (not sure who that would be). Can we get some new emojis that are flesh colored..... =| [tinfoil] ...how about skin colored....er........... :facepalm: I guess I can't use emojis anymore.

Reminds me of a joke that is sure to trigger most all but this prompts me to share anyway:
After picking up some passengers, an argument about race broke out. Most of the passengers on the bus are getting involved and after twenty minutes of bickering the driver, tired of the argument, slams on the brakes and stops in the middle of the street. Everyone shuts up. He stands up and shouts at them, "I'm TIRED of this. I'm an old man and I can't bear to listen to this arguing anymore. From now on, there's no black, there's no white, got it? We're all the same color. We're all green. Now everyone sit down, dark green in back, light green in front." :facepalm:

Emojis? They used to just be called "smileys" you know.. :old:

But we use a Japanese term, because we just love cultural appropriation so much. =)

They also just used to be text instead of an actual graphic.
What about blue [barf] and green :rofl: ? Are those racist?

If you use twitter and you're relatively normal, you're going to get an internet lynch mob at some point. Don't use twitter and it'll be significantly less of a problem.

I think the barf should be green to start and the rofl should be blue. You're going to be green before you puke and blue if you can't breathe from laughing so hard.

"Yellow is code for white". I need to write that down so I don't forget.

I use only clear emojis. Like these:
-
Why aren't yellow emojis considered racist against Asians? Or is that comment just racist?
Maybe we can't make some square emojis that look like saltine crackers. =)

Your privilege is showing, you better put it in check. :P

My emoji refuse to be limited by the cisnormative, hex triplet hierarchy. Color is, of course, a fluid concept, and they are the color, or non-color, they identify as.

I'm changing all my non animated smileys to pink...

I thought __I__ was color-blind.
Those emojis she used aren't yellow, but they sure aren't black. I don't know what they are (and it probably depends on the viewer's monitor), but they aren't black.

Well, since I aspire to emulate his lofty degree of curmudgeonliness, I will do my best to use it in good faith.
