Khloe Kardashian has been getting dragged for an emoji she recently used in a tweet. After sending out a string of tweets, she sent one of what Emojipedia describes as the “Woman Facepalming: Medium Skin Tone emoji.”
🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️

People instantly attacked Khloe for for that, as they felt that she should not use the emoji because it is the “black girl emoji.” Others defended the reality star and felt like the symbol was appropriate because she is half middle eastern, and she is extremely tan.
As always, many of the tweets directed at Khloe has been entertaining.

Anyone trolling Khloe about using an emoji because it’s a certain skintone has deep rooted issues. Not everyone prioritizes that. People just want to express emotions. They don’t take time to select what skintone an emoji should be. See the human expression, see beyond color.
