I send you a Google Calendar invite earlier. Did you get that? I didn't see your email.

Yeah, I didn't I send you a thumbs up. Let me check. Maybe I didn't notice because you sent a brown emoji. I don't understand why you sent me a brown thumbs up on the email.

It's just a thumbs up emoji. It's just what's in my phone. What's the big deal? You're not you're not it's not your skin tone Taylor. You're not brown.

Okay, I know I lost my tan. I mean this the summer has been it's coming back soon. So I'll basically be darker very soon anyways. I mean this is like you don't have to make

Do you know what you know what you're really doing in doing that? It's like you have this white privilege right and you get to hide that white privilege when you send me an emoji that's brown. You're not a brown person.

So so how is it that you get to hide your whiteness through email and through text and I don't get to see what color you are.

I will try to keep my emojis updated with my skin tone that changes with the seasons. Okay. Yeah, the next emoji you send me better be wider. I'm going to age are I will pick the widest possible one.

Should I just do yellow would that be make you know what's wrong with yellow. First of all stop Asian hate. Secondly, it's completely unacceptable to any of our our Southeast Asian people at this this company. Send a white emoji. You're white.

Got it. Why can't we have like ray emojis colorless translucent emojis. I don't know your racism is really showing Taylor. You're you're oddly too good at that. I think you're fired. Thank you guys so much for joining us on Will and I'm alive. That is our opening scene and it's not you know we're not making this stuff up. I no longer make stuff up for this because it's this is just too real. There's too much actual real comedy happening right before our eyes that people are going to be like.

People don't. People realize should be seen as comedy. Here's a story out of NPR you know NPR I used to turn on NPR you know in the in the car and I was doing I was a kid driving with my mom and they used to do stories on like.

Here's a volcano out in India that hasn't erupted into 100 years or something like that you know. Yeah, here's a here's a beekeeper from Tibet who's you know has very interesting life and picks some special flowers. Right. Right. Here's like a group.

A group of monks that use frogs frog spit as hallucinogenics that's what NPR used to report on that's what I used to hear from NPR used to be interesting I used to click it on if I wanted to just I was just curious about something now NPR is put on an article and here's the here's the headline.

It's an article on race says which skin color emoji should you use the answer can be more complex than you think.

And we start off by showing the different thumbs up you know as we as we insinuated in our skit and he talks about this person by the name of heath for

cell. So he's for cell identifies as three quarters white in one quarter Filipino when texting he chooses a yellow emoji instead of a skin tone option because he feels it doesn't represent any specific ethnicity or color.

He doesn't want people to view his text in a particular way. He wants to go with what he sees as a neutral option and focus on the message. Now he this quoted saying I present his very pale very light

skinned and if I use the white emoji I feel like I'm betraying the part of myself that's Filipino. But if I use a darker color emoji which may more closely match what I see when I look at my whole

family it's not what the world sees and people tend to judge that.

Be so they go and threaten entire article about what emojis you should use is it appropriation to use an emoji that's darker than you.

Is it hiding your whiteness if you're a white person who chooses a different color emoji and I just can't believe that somebody is getting paid to write this.

At three people took three journalists quote unquote journalists said in PR write this article and put it all together to you know a bunch of full investigation.

So we can figure out what the heck is going on with emojis right right find the racism it's like that's what this new.
