It feels almost more racially motivated in a negative way for me as a white person to change the color from yellow just to be perceived as white

I leave them yellow so they match the face emojis. So I can add a quick ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘ to something

I just leave them yellow bc I was too lazy to change it when the update came out to change it. Also all the face (๐Ÿ˜€) emojis are yellow and I like the consistency.

The yellow skin makes me think of the simpsons and I donโ€™t like that

Random. Mostly just default yellow but if my screen/fingers are damp and it accidentally selects the wrong race I canโ€™t be bothered to change it unless itโ€™s one I use often.

Idk cos you could also argue the opposite, that itโ€™s more racially motivated to โ€œhideโ€ your whiteness and not own it. A significant part of racism is the fact that many white people donโ€™t even self-identify as white, whether consciously or not, because they assume whiteness to be the norm and everything outside of that to be โ€˜otherโ€™. Idk though I think at the end of the day theyโ€™re just emojis and whatโ€™s more important is honest self-reflection in real life ๐Ÿ’€
