Comment on OpenMoji: Open-source emojis

Comments

Generally, I really very much like the style. I wonder about the skin tones and inclusion. I only see yellow supported.

There's an argument to be made that just having 1 unrealistic color could be more inclusive than many skin tones, but the characteristics of the people look white in general. Like, even the curly haired person. They just look like white people. I'm white, but this doesn't seem very inclusive.

Is there a skin tone variant I'm missing?

if you click on individual emoji's you can see the skin tone variants for it. You can filter for only emojis with skin tone variants using the "All Emoji <Filter Icon>" button :)

I see it now. Thank you!

What is a non skin tone related "white characteristic" exactly?
