Just yellow is fine, it was fine, it was a single icon that was still representative of all IMO

I feel the same way. It should be a skin tone that nobody on earth actually has. Equally exclusionary across the board equals inclusion automatically and then you don't have to worry about forgetting anyone.

I explicitly choose yellow when it tries to get me to pick one because why the fuck should my emoji convey race when it doesn't need to?
