The report seems to have placed the yellow emoji into a binary choice of black vs white, so having about half of the black people who were asked identify it as a white/non-black image doesn't make it seem like this is ground breaking research.
- giuliomagnifico 5y agoResearchers have to put the test people in front of a choice, is normal, what is significant is that there isn’t a big difference between white/black people choices: “Among Black participants, 56 per cent saw yellow emojis as more likely to signify White identity, while the figure for White participants was 63 per cent” This is the key point of the this research in my opinion: there’s a slightly bias into yellow emojis as associated with White people, but just a slight difference.
