> The fact that white people don't feel the need to change to explicit whiteness—but feel represented by the yellow Having no data at all (it would be interesting how you would even study this properly), but I still wanted to add this: It's not that the yellow emojis make me feel "represented" by being yellow. It's just that I don't care. If I want to express that I'm amused/angry/sad, it's the face that counts, so I see no point in fiddling with it just so it appears in some other shade of color. You could still wonder about the causes of this, of course. I'd guess that having the same skin tone as a big majority of people where I live, I never had to concern myself with any societal differences in the sense that I was affected by them. Also, it never got to be that big a part of my identity, since I'm "like everyone else" in that regard.
