“#Khlo\u00e9 Kardashian Gets Bashed On Twitter<\/a> For Using Black Emoji
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nModern technology<\/a> has created WAY too many new ways to indulge in racist microagressions.<\/p>\n

Of course, racism has always existed and has always been pervasive, infecting our culture in big, violent ways as well as tiny, almost imperceptible ways. But the digital age has brought upon a whole new slew of issues, from racist algorithms to biased facial recognition technology. It\u2019s a WAY thornier topic than we could possibly hope to cover here, but needless to say, celebs are not exempt from it.<\/p>\n

Take, for example, the KarJenner clan. The sisters have been highly criticized by the Black community, particularly for poaching their aesthetics from Black women. (And, sometimes, poaching their actual products from Black artists.) You\u2019d think facing this kind of ongoing criticism would make them more careful, but they they cross the boundaries of microaggressions time and time again.<\/p>\n

Most recently, Khlo\u00e9 Kardashian<\/strong> was called out for something seemingly small: using a dark-skinned emoji. It might seem silly that emojis have their own politics and app<\/a>ropriate standards of use, but it\u2019s general<\/a>ly accepted practice on the Internet that your emoji matches your actual skin tone. So when the Good American<\/strong> founder posted a string of dark-skinned face-palm emojis on Twitter, people immediately took notice.<\/p>\n

Seriously, the 36-year-old\u2019s mentions were FULL of comments like these:<\/p>\n

\u201cBitches get a tan and start changing their emoji skin tone..\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen tf you turn brown??\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the wrong emoji for you colonizer\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Now, we all know you have to physically go in and change your emoji skin tones. In fact, as one user pointed out, KoKo used the white version of the same emoji just yesterday:<\/p>\n

\n
