Many of you have brought to my attention my use of tan emojis. I apologize to anybody who was hurt by my use of emojis that you believe are too dark for me to use. I am mixed race and I chose to use the emojis that I felt best represented my skin tone.

Most of you have never met me in real life and are unaware of my how I look in person. I am not pale. I am not white. I am mixed race, and I was only trying to find an emoji with a skin tone that felt most accurate to me and my background.

@conangray bro u have absolutely no need to apologize for that im ??? they literally m a t c h u

@conangray HELPPP 2020 WAS DIFFERENT LEVELS OF WOKE.

@conangray i’m not conans number one fan in any means, but this honestly disgusts me. the fact that y’all are focusing on the emoji he thought fit his skin most? no. we need to be focusing on the actual issues that are happening. think about the actual reasoning behind blm.

@conangray <3 I’m so fukin sorry people are invalidating your race

@conangray He is the most wholesome and unproblematic person ever and people are bashing him up for using an emoji. Guess what? We don't even know the difficulties mixed race people goes through, the bullying and racism they have been through and we r cancelling them for using an emoji ffs

@conangray I wish you woulda just came online and told everyone to shut up and cry over something that matters 😅

@conangray I’m sorry this is too much, people are just trying to find a reason to hate you

@conangray Babe, remember this @conangray We love you baee

@conangray idk who you are but you should never have felt compelled to address something ridiculous like this. Please ignore anyone that gets mad at the shade of color your emojis are lol

@conangray Imagine being so privileged that you get offended by emoji usage

@conangray “He has done so many things wrong” bro chill it’s an emoji

@conangray This is the stupidest thing I've seen in awhile. 1. Conan shouldn't have to even slightly apologize. 2. These people who care so much about his emojis skin tone are hysterical fools. They are OBSESSED with race. This, absolutely proves that point.

@conangray Omg such a reach

@conangray these are your emojis sir: 🙏🏼🙏🏻 please use those instead, respectfully. ❤

@conangray Ya’ll I’m sorry but this is such a reach, you’re really apologizing for this?

@conangray Don´t apologize! You can use the emojis you want! It´s a free world!

@conangray 2020 was fucking insane

@conangray Why are you apologising?

@conangray @slifante ha vuelto a pasar.

@conangray There's no need to apologise to fascists. It just makes them feel more worthy

@conangray y’all are really making with poor man apologize for using an emoji...

@conangray Don’t give some random asshole on Twitter the power to make you apologize for being you.

@conangray This is why all emjois should be jaundiced.

@conangray Imagine someone telling a black or tan person there only allowed to use the emoji in there skintone.. Everybody would be so mad

@conangray Ummm, everybody can be any color they want in the USA. Never bow to the mob.

@conangray You can use whatever emoji you want. If someone gets mad tell em “fuck off”

@conangray You don’t gotta explain yourself, man. You do you and whatever is convenient for yourself. You don’t owe no one any apology or explanation. 🧡

@conangray Yall LOVE doing shit like this. They ASKED A QUESTION and yall are demonizing them. Conan just got asked a question and y'all are running to kiss his booboos?? He's a big boy. He can answer a question without y'all accepting apologies that weren't aimed it you🖕🏼

@conangray @ilomilovinyl You're a clown 😌🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿

@conangray This is the stupidest thing I've seen today so far, thank you.

@conangray The inclination of someone to issue a grovelling apology *for using an emoji*, as opposed to telling people who complain to shove it, is the real divide in our civilization. People really need to grow a pair.

@conangray Lol. I can’t even believe we are having these kinda conversations.

@conangray oh my god 2020 was insaneeeee

@conangray that’s literally ur skin tone it’s not even dark toned emojis wh-

@conangray This is the exact reason why I use the yellow/default 🙇🧍‍♀️ skin tone on emojis...
