iPhone user here. Article seems to focus on just hand the hand face emoji and not the upper body emoji's.
On the hand emoji's, I use the slight tanned white skin. For the upper body emoji, I normally use the white skinned/brown hair emoji as it reflects more than my than just skin tone. When it comes to Christmas, I only use black santa.
The article seems to undermine the headline though. They found 19% used the lightest skintone, and 30% used the second lightest.... that's 49% of their sampled tweets.. They also didn't do any work to find the race of those sampled in the tweets.
- nieve 8y agoExactly - the average for the darkest three tones is 17% and for the lightest two 24%, that's a huge bias in the opposite direction of the author's conclusion. I'm not sure if he deliberately mischaracterized the data for click-bait purposes or he's incompetent at arithmetic, but his data completely disproves his claims.
