What white. Default is yellow.
Comment on Is there any significance to people using emojis that match their skin tone?

Most white people expect peach color/white to be the universally accepted default and everyone should just not think about it because they themselves rarely have to think about representation.
White people in majority white countries rarely experience lack of representation so they don’t think its a big deal.
If medium brown was the default lots of people would be losing their minds with rage and y’all know it.

White/peach is the universally accepted default for drawn or animated people in general, not emojis. Simpsons yellow is what they use for white people. It’s still using white person color for the default.

Simpsons yellow. Not white?

Who talks about fiktive yellow people?

People honestly assessing whether yellow is adjacent to whiteness.
Now please answer my question.

The emoji standard is bright yellow though, not peach or white.

That’s not the point of the comment, and not even what they said

Are there any non-Simpsons yellow animated people?

On The Simpsons? Yeah, there are Black and brown characters.

Honestly not sure. I don’t watch a whole lot of animation these days.
