Alle witte emoji vormen het middelpunt, de zwarte staan langs de kant. Wie zag deze blunder over het hoofd? Twitter in elk geval niet.
Equality but blacks on the sidelines ???

Either way I support more equity.
I support @UN_Women but this tweet is a complete misfire. Please delete, correct and hire more black women to run your social medias

This doesn’t look good, so I’m closer to equality than a WOC? Cause that’s what this poster implies, why not mix all the colours up? Which would be more visually effective IMO cause I’d like to think we’re all equal

Hi folks, this visual 100% reinforces light skin privilege. Please try again.
