Comment on Is there any significance to people using emojis that match their skin tone?

There’s at least two things going on here:

A) a very mild case of the “white as default” part of white privilege. White people see themselves as default and use the default emoji.

2] the (often accurate) perception that white people who highlight their race unnecessarily do so out of racial pride, making self-use of a “white” emoji suspect.

I’m not saying these are the only two things at play, just the ones that occurr to me on first examinstion.
