In an effort to be more inclusive, Apple may have upset an entire race of iPhone users.

A beta version of the new iOS update has been sent to developers, and it has a hidden feature that allows users to select the skin color of most emjoi. The Huffington Post reports  that all human emoji will now have selectable skin color. Tapping and holding the icon will show a selection of choices for each emoji so you can choose, for example, if Santa is white, black or... er, yellow?

Yellow, indeed. Some have taken to Twitter to show their outrage that the jaundice-looking yellow emoji are apparently supposed to represent Asians.

The Washington Post, however, suggests that those who assume the yellow emoji are supposed to represent Asians are the ones who, in fact, are racist. Unicode, the governing body who makes decisions about emoji changes, allowed the tweaks of skin colors to coincide with something called the Fitzpatrick scale. Without going into too much detail, it's a common method of showing the range of skin color in humans.

Asians, according to the scale, usually range in skin color that is best matched with the the fair skinned, moderate brown and dark brown emoji. Yellow, they say, is supposed to represent a race-less version of the emoji. Yellow has been the standard "smiley face" icon that has been used on the internet as a generic human since AOL Messenger.

In addition to race, users will also reportedly be able to choose between different family types, including emoji of gay and lesbian parents with different gendered children. New flags from additional countries will also be added.

Of course, Apple also made some tweaks to the technology emoji as well. The watch image now looks like the new Apple Watch, while the cellphone now more closely represents the new iPhone 6.

So what do you think? Are the new emoji a welcome change or do you think Apple needs to be even more racially sensitive?
