The taxpayer-funded dumpster fire that can't even get its facts straight on matters concerning the Supreme Court is now warning its audience that using the default emoji skin tone (yellow) might be a sign of racism, because of course there needs to be more victims and oppressors created in the apparent absence of actual racism and oppression.
For emoji users, most probably don't think about which of the six available skin tones they choose to make their hand gestures and cartoon people, but according to NPR that choice "opens a complex conversation about race and identity."
Apparently, thanks to the very serious taxpayer-funded reporters at NPR who found a Ph. D. candidate and emoji researcher, there's a pressing need to unpack why "some white people may stick with the yellow emoji because they don't want to assert their privilege by adding a light-skinned emoji to a text, or to take advantage of something that was created to represent diversity."
