tosensei4385247dthe introduction of ANY non-yellow-emojis was a completely wrong decision in the first place.

Root83458247d@iSwimInTheC I should ask for a freckled skintone lest it be racist against the Irish.
ngl though, I'd totally use it. I love my spots. -

@qwwerty Doesn't work because white people are not allowed to complain. -
tosensei4385247d@Fast-Nop well, if we go that way, the original mistake was allowing people to use the internet who aren't tech-savvy enough to spot the difference between a toaster and a hamster

ahaha. The white Slack emoji skintone is frowned upon at $work, and we're encouraged to use the yellow one instead to be "inclusive" -- but fear not, the brown ones are totally fine.
Gotta love woke companies.
