On April 8th Apple released a new iOs software update and they finally listened to the demands of their customers. The new update features emoji’s of different skin complexions and flags for many nations! For five years my peers and I have been saying that Apple needed new emoji’s, well we finally got them! I think that haven emojis of color and having flags that represent the many Latino nations is a step in the positive direction for representation. We all know that people of color are not represented in mass media very often and if they are it usually shows the women as super-hypersexualized and then men as criminals. It amazes me that something so simple as emotion characters on the phone can be so damaging to the self image of people of color. When a person of color wants to express an emotion they have to do so through a white face, this is the same as when a person of color turns on the tv and they don't see people who look like them, or when they go to college and don't see people who look like them. Having emotion characters with many complexions allows iPhone users of color to represent themselves when they are expressing emotion. I think everybody should get the newest update, delete some apps or photos and make space for the update. If you dont, Apple will think that nobody cares if there are only white emoji’s and other companies will continue to under- represent people of color. Good job Apple! Keep it going!
