I’m asking because as a light-skinned male, I always use the standard Simpsons yellow. I don’t really see other light-skinned people using an emoji that matches their skin tone, but often do see people of color use them. Maybe white people don’t naturally realize a need to be explicit with emoji skin-tone or perhaps it’s seen as implicitly identifying or requesting white privilege.

Is there a significance to using skin-tone emojis, and if so, what is it?
-
Assuming there might be a racial movement attached to the first question, how does my use of emojis, both Simpsons yellow and light-skin, interact with or contribute to that?
Note: I am an autistic white Latino-American cis-gendered man that aims to be socially just.

The emoji standard is bright yellow though, not peach or white.
Universally accepted default for drawn or animated people in general, not emojis. Simpsons yellow is what they use for white people.
Are there any non-Simpsons yellow animated people?
Honestly not sure. I don’t watch a whole lot of animation these days.
On The Simpsons? Yeah, there are Black and brown characters.
Nono, I mean in other animated series.
That’s not the point of the comment, and not even what they said
