I too would like to apologise to gingerer boarders for not representing them better.

"Instead, some white people may stick with the yellow emoji because they don't want to assert their privilege by adding a light-skinned emoji to a text"

The bit about choosing to use a yellow emoji in a professional setting made me chuckle.
But otherwise, yeah that’s all very sensible. Although not surprising a load of old white guys on here don’t get it.

How long until they say The Simpsons or Minions are racist for being yellow then?

The Simpson was mentioned in the article.

I suspect the real reason the skin colour emojis were introduced is that it enables Cambridge Analitica & their ilk to segment data even more, not by race, but by attitude to race, or "wokeness"

Cambridge Analytica were shut down a few years back so you don’t need to worry about that.

Dictionary definition of woke is "alert to injustice in society" so I don't see why everyone gets hot under the collar when they talk about people being woke. Everyone should be.
Traditionally, the famous World War Two film theme had been played before each Lincoln City home game, while the siren was sounded ahead of corner kicks.
That's so unbelievably naff.

I've not been to Lincoln for a long, long time and had no idea they still did it, but it's brilliant.
