A couple people at work use the white/black emojis instead of the yellow. I don't know why, but it always seems weird to me that you took the extra time to select your race.
I always feel a little weird in a work chat when folks have gone out of there way to select their exact skin tone and I'm just like, yeah yellow will do.
I was using the white skinned people emojis until it was changed and made the shirt color the same across all skin colors. I just liked the purple shirt more than green. Which is now on the separate female version emoji. 🤷🏼♂️🤷♀️
They're also way the fuck down in the big list and have to be long tapped to change. I didn't even know you could do that for a hella long time.

Same here. I do see people use the white/black emoji at work. I also find it somehow strange and leave mine on the default yellow

On iPhone it auto-changes them to the skin color of your memoji. 👍🏼

Interesting, now I need to do some subtle questioning and see if they are iPhone users. I really appreciate the new knowledge and perspective!

Because yellow is already the default for white.
The link is to an interesting half hour video essay by Lily Alexandre on this topic.
