But her main reason was around the “weirdness” of using the white emoji. From what I could gather, she was hesitant to use the white emoji because it could come across as oppressive — as if she was shoving her whiteness at me. I heard her out, and understood her perspective.
In response, though, I said it felt uncomfortable to me because it seemed as if she was trying to claim something that wasn’t hers to claim.
it's a fucking emoji and I assure you no black person had any hand in inventing it
