I have the standard emoji set that came with the phone. The only dark skinned minority on there has a turban on his head.

Apple racist?

You would think they would have some "hands up dont shoot" emoji's by now. Wheres Al Sharpton when you need him?

It's well known that black people use droids.

Can you connect a bluetooth earpiece to an iPhone?

The standard emojis are on every phone, including android

It's the Chinese or Japanese that created them. That's why they're yellow. Tee hee

But seriously I read they were coming out with skin tone colored ones. Don't remember where I read that though

Apple just bought beats so I imagine the transition is imminent

Emoji characters are actually Asian, therefore not racist

I actually searched this same question the other day and the first thing that popped up on Google was "****mania.net" no lie..

I'm pretty sure the KKK created that site...
