I usually just choose a random skin tone when the options pop up. Do people really choose emojis that look closest to themselves?!
my Asian and black friends all use the darker skin tone emojis. Because why would they use the paler skin one? Surely it’s about what you recognise and identify with. Why would a black person for instance choose a white emoji when there’s a black emoji there? The issue is more that the white emoji is even a default. You should have to select a default in settings and not let your phone assume you are white.
that’s a WHOLE OTHER issue to gifs. Because gifs represent a story that reflects your mood/reaction, rather than an emoji which reflects you.
