That's why I stick with gboard since they got all the skin tone emojis.

 

[It's been real]

Using the term "flesh tone" to refee to white skin

Wow, really?

and I remember the Xbox Kinect couldn't see us for a hot minute

[froggle]

It's funny, I have never seen anyone use the darkest skin tone smiley....even those who are darker than me

 

[old pig]

this is funny...I’m part of a slack group (everyone in the group is black) and for the life of me idk how to make the yellow emojis brown on an ipad lol

Gboard is Android, breh

can you elaborate, bro? are you a software engineer?

In some capacity, yes. This is my most dev focused job since college.

But im moreso talking about quality of life products that have automated standard life actions. The people who program the functionality for almost everything do not ever consider people of different skintones.

shyt back in the day motion detecting sensors could not detect a black person wearing black

Yeah u can lol

 

[Vilify]

just yesterday a female coworker called me out asking why my emoji doesn't match my skin tone.

I'm far from a c00n but never found it necessary to change it from yellow.

I notice cacs tend to leave it on yellow, while black people tend to change it to various shades of brown.

 

[Captain Crunch]

Don't give af
And I say this as a high red nikka that can't find emojis to match my skin tone

 

[humminbird]

Yellow should have just been a character color and not meant as white

it’s another subtle way of making whites the normal of everything

this is actually what I don’t like about the simpsons

why add brown colored characters just like people of color be the voices
