SJW Gets Ripped Apart For Terrible Take On New Emojis

Mamma mia! The new iOs and Android emojis were announced yesterday and Twitter has got a lot of feelings about 'em. The roll out will include a woolly mammoth, a glass of boba tea, men in wedding veils, and the classic Italian "pinched fingers" stereotype that's mostly associated with spicy meatballs. One Twitter user took offense with that pretty commonly-held opinion, and decided to share an incredibly unfortunate take regarding the hand gesture and the stereotype. @Sonigupta504, who has since protected her tweets, felt that assuming the gesture is Italian is a eurocentric and "white washed" stance. People on Twitter do not seem to agree.
