Eh, as others say that emoji has a bit of a history. That said, I very much expect he'll remove all the "DEI emojis" (aka literally any shade who isn't white or classic yellow)

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

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?
