I don’t know about this one, but last time the people were random. I have no doubt that their faces were closer to an “ideal” demographic makeup (according to some marketing people) than the reality, but it is not obvious looking just at one picture.
- throwaway894345 5y agoFair enough. I could be over-extrapolating.
- kergonath 5y agoFWIW I think a random selection among a list of representative faces is a good way of solving the problem.
- throwaway894345 5y agoAgreed. I also like the yellow-emoji option--use something that clearly has no race.
- knicholes 5y agoExcept yellow skin has been historically used to describe Asians. Maybe purple or neon green could have been used to steer definitely clear of that.
- throwaway894345 5y agoIf someone is tenuously making the "yellow emojis are actually asians" argument, they're certainly acting in bad faith, but I guess bad faith is what got us here in the first place. I find myself pretty unwilling to accommodate bad faith, especially because by definition bad faith will always make increasingly ridiculous demands.
