I’m angry and deeply offended because there is not an emoji that looks remotely like a Choctaw!

I live among a lot of Asians and people with a good percentage, and have yet to see a yellow skin tint. Never understood where that came from.

Only thing close has been some older white guys that messed up with the tanning stuff.

In a world that has the intent of outlawing offensive anything, someone will always claim offense.

“Look at me! Look at me! My skin is so yellow!” — said no Asian ever.

Let me reach in my bag of cliches to find something appropriate. Here we go ...

This is why they should have never introduced race in Emojis.

OK, computer colors are 256 x 256 x 256 red x green x blue.

So we got a lot of possible ‘diversity’ here.

What’s the beef?

Not quite like “N-word”; there’s only 26 chances there, not 16777216.

Seems like we have room for everyone.

7 billion / 16777216 = about 417 persons per color.

Everyone should be happy. I know I am.

I don’t see them getting angry about Chinese who have their faces and eyes altered to look more European.

STFU anyway.

I need to be on the lookout for updates or apps that have LGBTQWERTY themed propaganda.

One of the Asian guys threatening to file a descrimination lawsuit is Mi Su Yu.

Aarrgh!!!!

I HATE Flash and Shockwave!!!!

These sites are just too much anymore, with their automatic content playing when I want to read an article.

Time to implement blocking.

I’ve had it with their crap and attempting to hijack my devices and my mind.

Basstuhds!!!!

Besides, .724 is superior to Adobe and their Shiite product needs to die.

Friggin memory and resource hog...

The chinese applied the color yellow to themselves. Back in the day, it was considered good to be associated with the color of gold. Now the east asians have adopted western culture, and don’t like their self chosen color association.

Ol’ Whitey can’t win for loosing.

Apple says the yellow shade is intended to be ethnically neutral Cupertino-based company has also included flags from 32 countries

Including Islamic State, I wonder?

Back in 1977, there was a long forgotten hit called "Ariel" by Dean Friedman. It was about a Jewish girl from New Jersey in a peasant blouse, who didn't eat meat. And she was collecting quarters for the "Friends of 'BAI" - which was a radio station at the time.

For some reason, that song just popped into my mind as I read about the offensive yellow emoji.

That is not an Asian Emoji, that is a Obamacare patient that has liver failure due to not being treated in time for Jaundice....

“Obviously the little yellow swine is hiding”
“Kato my little ‘yellow’ friend, I’m ‘heum!”
“They nearly blew his little yellow skin off!”
“: I’m sure you’ll be wanting sushi, my little yellow friend!”
Obviously the little yellow swine is not paying attention.”

Quotes by Inspector Clouseau.
