Q: Emojis?
I have been a loyal customer to apple for years now and I love that the emoji's bring joy and personality to my messages but there's one problem, even after making them a bit more personalized with diverse skin tones, family setting, and sexual preferences I can't say that I feel Apple has done everything to accommodate the buyers of today.
I am a part of the 2% of the redhead community from around the world and I feel very confident that I'm not the only person who has been taken aback that there is no red haired emoji's even now.
I urge Apple to fix this. It comes off as a bit of discrimination that a loyal paying customer cannot express his/her feelings through means like this. There have been debates about emoji equality with the new women emoji's, and emoji's being changed to not be offensive to the public, yet we are still being neglected as a community? 2% may not be a lot but we still matter.

Its a nice idea. I'd like to see an Auburn haired emoji. There are a lot of other products that don't include red hair as an option. Like some brands of eyebrow pencils don't include Auburn. Just blonde, black & different browns. I noticed this in Target yesterday. Some hair colors don't offer any shades of red either. It's a real bummer. I'm sorry that I wouldn't quite call it discrimination though. I tend to think of that as involving more serious subjects, but I can feel left out.
