One of my best friend, Eban, is black. Literally the greatest guy and the warmest welcoming family.
Anyway, when we text, if I ever send him a thumbs up smiley, or shaking hands or anything that involves skin color - he always responds in kind, and does so with the black skin color smileys. https://i.imgur.com/gLsRETW.png
"complex conversation about race and identity"
WTF? It does not open any conversation - unless you are a racist. or that you want to apply that accusation towards someone else. It's a damn smiley, a tiny image, nothing more.

NPR Says Skin-Colored Emojis are Racist or Something
It took three so-called journalists at the far-left, taxpayer-subsidized NPR to publish an in-depth look at what it means when you use skin-colored emojis.
Even more impressive is how this triple-bylined act of journalism manages to clarify nothing. Instead, what we have here is a heaving pile of pseudo-intellectual gibberish buried in appropriate woke phrases and clumped together in such an Orwellian way, no conclusion is made — other than the obvious one: every choice made by white people is raaaaaacist.
If anything, NPR’s “Which skin color emoji should you use? The answer can be more complex than you think” will be remembered as an artifact from a time when America was so prosperous and spoiled, we had the luxury to assign three people to cover shit that doesn’t matter, and no one cares about.
Talk about luxury problems…
“In 2015, five skin tone options became available for hand gesture emojis, in addition to the default Simpsons-like yellow,” the three NPR welfare queens report. “Choosing one can be a simple texting shortcut for some, but for others, it opens a complex conversation about race and identity.”
The only conclusion one can glean from this — other than we they have become a society of fragile babies — is that too many people have way too much time on their hands. What’s more, these crybabies live a life with so few real problems they have the emotional space to allow an emoji to launch “a complex conversation about race and identity.”
Do they not own a TV?
Anyway, can you imagine living a life so perfect that the color of a stupid emoji is something you have the luxury to worry over? Get a load of this:
Heath Racela identifies as three-quarters white and one-quarter Filipino. When texting, he chooses a yellow emoji instead of a skin tone option, because he feels it doesn’t represent any specific ethnicity or color.
[…]
“I use the brown one that matches me,” said Sarai Cole, an opera singer in Germany. “I have some friends who use the brown ones, too, but they are not brown themselves. This confuses me.”
[…]
“I use the default emoji, the yellow-toned one for professional settings, and then I use the dark brown emoji for friends and family,” she said. “I just don’t have the emotional capacity to unpack race relations in the professional setting.”
