Ah, finally – multipolar world order.

any colour you choose for a “default” will end up mapped to the “cultural” default

Now I’m wondering if this has ever been tested on black Africans, in homogeneously black communities, do (or did) they perceive the yellow emoji as foreign/alien in any way?

Probably difficult or impossible to test, admittedly…

but for me all the xkcd figures are white, even though they are not racialised.

If xkcd introduced character whose head-circle was filled with black, that character would definitely be viewed as black. But - if all the characters had black heads, would we default back to all of them being white?
