I just use the default yellow, you gotta remember like if someone uses it once it is probably going to be in their most recently used ones so they may have only fretted over it once and then it was just there to select moving forward. It does feel a bit weird though that at some point a white person said "I need representation here" and picked the white one
It can be a little bit weird I think, yeah. Like I said, it could go either way, it could be completely innocuous or it could be something kind of troubling, that's why I would not say it's like something to get bent out of shape over, which I don't think anyone is.What on Earth are you talking about? I'm white, I use the emoji that looks most like me.. you're telling me that's weird? That's a load of nonsense tbh.
Same for mei use whatever the default is. too much work to pick a specific icon
🙋♀️ I've seen some men on here use the women emojis and was curious on that side too 🕵️♀️
I'm guilty as charged. For many of the "emoting" emoji (weird phrase) the emoji of women has always felt like the default to me. Plus I have long hair. Plus, in many cases, telling the difference between the kids/adults/genders is actually kind of difficult (I'm thinking of the bowing emoji in particular here).🙋♀️ I've seen some men on here use the women emojis as default and was curious on that side too 🕵️♀️
That's interesting, thanks for the insight 💝I'm guilty as charged. For many of the "emoting" emoji (weird phrase) the emoji of women has always felt like the default to me. Plus I have long hair.

For me, it just seems like the female one resonates with me more for some reason.
The Midwest is full of suburban white ladies mortified of offending a POC because they aren't sure what what's racist and what's not.The thought of a white progressive agonising over whether their harmless emoji customisation could be interpreted as racist is very, very funny to me. You've unleashed a new wave of anxiety on this forum, OP.
White people are gonna be okay, use whatever emojis you want, if some people think it's a bit weird you know you're not doing anything wrong so there's no issue and it doesn't matter what some other people think
They actually doI use the Brown Female ones...
...as I am mixed race...and Male...
...but the Female ones look better.
See? Female ones look better! 👸🏽
Lemme be a strong Nubian Queen if I want to be! 💁🏽♀️🙇🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Also, Era Emojis are trash! 🥴
I find it funny how many white people are getting angry and offended at the OP and blowing it out of proportion.
Like he said this:
However changing from yellow to white it feels a lot like the "extra effort" some exert to respond "All Lives Matter". I feel like those I notice who do this I then start to see other signs of Trump stan/Conservatism bubbling up.So he's using anecdote here of noticing it but he's not generalising that any white person using a white emoji equals conservatism. He even opens it up to him possibly reaching too hard outside of his experience. White people being aware of their race has been more a recent thing when they've seen themselves as the default and superior for so many centuries. There's a positive in a white person identifying as white, at least better than colourblindness in regards to race. It's acknowledging the privilege.
Extremely online people manImagine overanalyzing something as simple as white person using white emoji and thinking this is normal line of thought.
