A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I get that the Simpsons are coded as white, but technically they are yellow.

technically they're cartoons as well, not real people ;)

IMHO one of the biggest mistakes in the Simpsons was adding non-yellow skin tones. "Yellow is white, but brown is brown"... should've stuck with yellow for everyone, green for alien, and could have added some blue. As it is, OP's image is a "white" guy (yellow hand) in blackface.
