NPR was previously criticized for hemorrhaging diverse hosts

NPR was ridiculed on Wednesday for its take on emojis and how some can supposedly denote white privilege.

The article, headlined "Which skin color emoji should you use? The answer can be more complex than you think," claimed that white people using the common yellow-handed, thumbs-up emoji can actually suggest ignorance of white privilege. Its authors were Alejandra Marquez Jans, Asma Khalid and Patrick Jarenwattananon.

So, not being an albino, which one should I choose?

 

[vraiblonde]

White privilege is having the time, money, and audience to whine about the race of emojis - on the taxpayer's dime.

LMAO!!!

I feel for teachers who aren't sociopaths and actually want to educate children. They have to go to work every day surrounded by sexual predators and held hostage by mentally ill deviants. Pretty soon it's going to be like cops, where no decent person will choose that as a profession.

I'm wondering when they're going to address the fact that in many parts of the world, thumbs up is basically the middle finger.

Tell them it means White Supremacy.

Which is sometimes idiotic applied to the "ok" sign, ANOTHER sign that means something ELSE to many people.

In many nations - and in sign language - the ok sign means "*******" and thumbs up means "up yours".
