And the change is literally skin deep. They added skin color, but not racial features. The "black man" emoji just looks like a white guy with dark skin.
Imagine if I was a dwarf. I'd feel a bit alienated that all emojis are of tall people. Shouldn't there be a dwarf modifier for every emoji: dwarf man facepalming, dwarf woman shrugging, dwarf man bride, &c
If you felt yellow is too white, they should have changed emojis to magenta or something. Adding variants makes them unusable.
