Represent!
Sep 16, 2016
Among young adults, emojis have even become a distinct and separate language, far removed from the limiting constraints of letters that some just can’t be bothered to type out.
However, as wonderful and beneficial as emojis have become in our communication with one another, they don’t always lend themselves to the diversity and beautiful cultural variety that exists in the real world — this has started to change.
It was a more than a year ago that Apple added different skin tones to its emoji app, an important add-on that that allowed those who use emojis in their texts to represent themselves in a more accurate manner.
Oh, I laughed out loud so much at this image:
I like this die-versity. I'm looking forward to these emojis:
- Bacha baazi.
- Guy killing a dog.
- Acid-burned face.
- A woman holding a child's head.
- An exquisite, floating, black garbage bag.
All in the name of cultural variety, of course.
