No, I don't know what format my post appeared like to you but they were both separate statements.
Yellow emojis - do you guys still use them?

I'm a straight white male and on occasions I use the black smileys.
Can't see why anybody would get offended about it though.

I use whatever colour the colon and parenthesis type symbols transform into when I hit return -

People still use emojis? How quaint...
I remember thinking they were cool/cute when I was still using MSN messenger about 10 years ago, guess I'm no longer down with the kids (Although I still use the ascii versions =P)

Heck, I still call them emoticons or Smileys....

Never come across an east asian person using the yellow emoji's, I thought they were for anyone. I have noticed people using race specific ones of late, I tend to do the same nowadays.
No one has said that
A new social etiquette evolving from a developing communication system is hardly society ending stuff, you're safe to stay on this planet a bit longer

I'm white, I always use all the black ones.

Welcome to 2018
Get ready for 2019 where emjois have rights!
Assume the graphic design team spent as much time creating the female emjois as they did with the male ones.
Hopefully we'll get non gender specific ones soon.

Yup, this. My wife also generally uses yellow emojis, but then she does also describe herself as a little yellow person. Can't say I've ever really thought about it.
That is what I'm trying to establish, if they are becoming a less generic thing and more of an Asian thing then I could be appropriating them... please remember it is [current year]!
LOL mums and technology
I'd generally not use the black one, especially in a big group as it could be taken the wrong way very easily. Perhaps in a group of close friends, in a jokey way, that everyone is aware is meant jokingly then sure... but I can't think of many situations where it would be appropriate to use as a white person.
Thus the question about the yellow hand/thumbs up emoji... if that starts becoming less like a generic thing then perhaps I will switch to the white thumbs up/hand emojis.. at the moment I just use what I see (or used to see) as the default/non race specific ones
It is a semi-serious question, I could be committing a micro aggression here and those are a big thing these days.
You don’t text or message people?
I’m a mix, sometimes I change the symbol to white, but mostly yellow. Not bothered either way.
Probably also worth pointing out that some of the more non common emojis may have different apparent meanings on certain phones. For example Samsung use* a smiley face for the rolleyes emoji...
*they may have just finally come in to line with others.
There’s a solution to that, stop following those twitter feeds.
Me too.
