@goatboy With all the thin skin around here lately, I wondering why someone hasn't upgraded the racially insensitive emoji selection on this site.

When I text on my phone I can select various skin tones for just about any emoji, why are just about my only choices here yellow people like this?

 

Isn't this offensive to Asians?

Even the Village People are yellow:  

I know there are some that aren't yellow but just about all of them are.

If this is a kindlier and gentler site, there should be more inclusive smiley faces.

Sensitive ass bitches. I'm not yellow, but I could give zero fucking thoughts to my fucking feelings being hurt because of a smile face on a web site.

I just want a native thumbs up/down emoji. The maxcdn ones kinda suck -- or they're just too small to clearly make out.

????

Edit: more color might help too.



Edit2: fixed it, blocked maxcdn and just let the browser handle it...

Also, do people actually do this? I thought it was just a feature for company press releases and liberal tech reviewers to feel good.

No, they aren't.  Everybody is yellow.  To imply otherwise would imply there is a difference between people based on skin color.

Forcing multi-hued emojis would be the definition of racism.

Got it. I will do my best to ensure I only use the appropriate verbiage when referring to you as to not offend you. I identify as a pork chop. From now on please only refer to me as "the pork chop", or "that pork chop" and never as "a pork chop". Thank you for respecting my diversity.
