If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Personally, I could not care less how emojis are coloured. I assume that racially-coded emojis pander to the same type of people who demand 70 different sexual identities on FarceBook.

Were times different, there would be a name for that.
What I mean is that multiple personalities are called schizophrenia.
So, multiple sexuality should also have a name. (Especially I the possessor is the only member of that particular group).
Take it a step further: the former is considered a mental illness, the latter, not. Seems to be quite a conflict in logic.
Wait - I have a solution! Schizophrenia is no longer a mental problem, but a life-style.
There - now most of me's feel better

I'm of two minds about that.

Quote: multiple personalities are called schizophrenia
Multiple personality disorder (or dissociative identity disorder) is quite different from schizophrenia.

He's right, you know.
Well, I knew you'd be the first to admit it.
Why doesn't he just go with the flow? Look at the big picture?
Maybe he should just be "dealt with"?
Because you were too quick to post? We wash our hands of the hole thing.
Yeah - like you ever wash your hands.
You're changing the subject - like a politician?
I'm just not going to reply.
Wimp. Take it like a man!
Does that include all of us.
Us, yes - you? The jury's still out.

Sigh…. Why are these things so hard for people to grasp? Of course, on a case by case basis – emojis in this case – it’s trivial and seemingly meaningless, but try a little mind game, please:
You are little black kid growing up in the West, and everywhere you look – TV ads, books, billboards, computer games, wherever – you see little white boys and girls doing their stuff. And that’s all you see. Ever. (I know it’s not like that. Bear with me.) How do you think, over time, this is going to make you feel, and affect your mindset as you grow into adulthood?
One thig it won’t do, is make you feel included, a part of society. It won’t help or encourage you to integrate, and make positive contributions to society. Contrarily, it will be easy for you to fall into a spiral of feeling an outsider.
Well, this is what things were like not so long ago. And some people figured, why not try changing this? Maybe we can do some small things that might help to make a better, more cohesive society in which everyone feels they have a part. And now you see more coloured people in TV ads, books, billboards, computer games, wherever – and the only people who complain are… well, never mind. (Soapbox is over there -->  )
And some people have extended this to emojis. So what? No one is forcing anyone else to use them. It isn’t “bringing division” except in the minds of people who already see division, and want to keep it, but maybe – just maybe – it’ll bring a smile to some little black kid’s face.
Sorry if this isn't really Lounge stuff - but you (OP) did ask...
